Ross Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hi All, im going to start building an mfme cab but want to get my head around the hopper/coin mech requirements first. im going to order this for the mech: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DKBF1ZV/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A3MWTOW3Y5FBF1&psc=1 and this to power it: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D2BWC6M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1YMYL2LX3TD52&psc=1 Can someone explain what i need in the middle between the mech and mfme, i know a usb controller board can be used but i want to insert credit based on the coin put into the mech and so i don't think this is what i need as that will only send a button press as far as im aware no matter what coin i put in. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amusements Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) On my mini cabinet I have 2 similar mechs, (ASFIK that mech will only take one type of coin after programming) and a cheap 12v power supply, that one on Amazon is more than you need, and expensive. I used an old satellite box power supply. Maybe shop around. From the mech you will need a relay . I use 6 x 5/12v relays with low and high triggers which I got for a couple of quid each online from China. 2 for 2 mechs that use the 12v power supply also powering my mechs. These send a 9 and 0 key press through the Ipac to MFME. 2 for my hopper motors. Signal come from the Pacdrive upon payout, and this closes the circuit that then sends power to my hoppers. 2 for my hoppers coin output sensor (These send a [ & ] key press through the Ipac to MFME) and stop the power to the hopper motors. Get a Pacdrive and an Ipac with the correct settings. Don't spend your time on USB controllers, you will just get a headache, and may not be able to drive the hoppers. On the last build I did, I used the following mechs and hopper. https://www.lazada.co.th/-i226392941-s346113649.html 2x mechs https://www.lazada.co.th/products/6-hole-hopper-big-i128910856-s136425165.html 1x hopper Edited June 1, 2019 by Amusements Hopper URL had changed Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be!
