Wiring Coin door to turn on PC - Microswitch?
Franco B:
The microswitches that you have in place at the bottom of the mech are triggered when you insert a coin, if you connected those up your PC would switch on and off everytime you insert a coin, not what you want.
The rejects do not active a microswitch, they just open the mech to release any stuck coins.
What you need to do is to fix a microswitch in posistion beind the red piece of plastic so that it actuates the microswitch when you press the reject. Deffo some mcguyver'ing inmvolved but it should be pretty easy :)
To answer your other question, yes the microswitches act as a normaly open switch when you connect the wires to the NO and ground/common terminals.

I apologize for the horrible image quality, but here are some pics of my player two reject with a switch behind it. I screwed the switch into a small piece of wood, then I gorilla glued it to the coin chute. Of course, I have an older style coin door, here:

I'm curious. What function is hooked up to your hacked coin reject switch?
Thanks,

THIS is what you are looking for.
I have the "coin" button wired to the player 2 return button on the coin door.
