Hi I’ve been messing around with it and I’ve set up all coins (well supposed to have) but when I insert (eg 50p) on the game it adds 10p credit it’s the same with every coin when I insert a coin it’s adds the wrong credit (Just my luck) @No1Stoney is the note pad this. Thanks

Hi @No1Stoney in WinIPAC I have the £1 coin set as 0 and in MFME the shortcut is set to 0. So I inserted a few pound coins through the mech and they were getting accepted, but no credits added to the machine. So I tried some more and 1 of the coins got stuck in the mech, but it added the correct credits onto the machine. This made me think maybe there is something wrong with the mech, so I set up a different coin (10p) and it was exactly the same! But there was one thing I noticed that was strange, everytime I inserted a coin the little green led flashed once and that was the same with every coin I inserted. This is how I have the mech set up, I was just thinking maybe it is in the wrong way or something Thanks

Right thanks for the info I’ll change it and let you know what happens tomorrow cheers @No1Stoney

Yes I did I set the £1 as 0 and 10p as [

Hi @No1Stoney I’ve been messing around with the coin mech and setting the coins up in MFME. I’ve been testing on Homers Meltdown but I’ve been having a few issues. I went into edit mode to add a lamp but there was already lamps set out for different coins, so I went into properties and tried all the different types for the £1 and 10p and as I inserted the coins through the mech they were accepted but never added any credits on the machine! Just wondered if you could help. Thanks

Ok, thanks

Thanks @No1Stoney

Hi @No1Stoney this is probably an easy question but I can’t find it Just wondering if you could tell me where the properties option is on MFME. Thanks

Ok thanks for breaking this down for me @No1Stoney you have really helped me throughout this Cheers mate

Hi @No1Stoney I don’t think I actually have added coin inputs for each coin Just wondering how I add a new button to assign a shortcut, do I do it on this WinIPAC. Sorry if I sound a bit stupid I’m useless at this bit Thanks

Hi @No1Stoney I’ve managed to rig the hopper and mech up with that power supply and the hopper is now working a treat, it’s just I now have a new problem the coin mech. On WinIPAC I have set these 6 up as random keys and one of them being 0 as that’s insert £1 on most machines. But the issue is when I insert £1s the coin sometimes rejects and sometimes doesn’t but either way it doesn’t add any credits on the machine. Now one of the pounds I inserted got stuck in the mech but it added the credits on the game. I just find this strange because sometimes the coin is accepted and the little led flashes twice but no credits are added on the machine (I have tried this on multiple games). Also I tried inserting a 10p and it was accepted but inserted a £1 worth of credits. Now I think I missing something huge here as there is quite a few problems especially some coins act as being accepted but no credits get added! Thanks for all of your help so far, really appreciate it

Is this to power it on ? When I add power to it now it works fine Im sorry I’m lost off with this

Hi @No1Stoney a mate of mine was throwing away his old pc as it stopped working so I got it and removed the power transformer from inside it to use on my cab. So then all the wires that were inside I just put them into blocks so I could use what I would need. (Red,5v. Yellow,12v. Black,GND the rest are not needed.) So I’ll wire the hopper and coin mech up with it and I’ll see if it works. I think if it still doesn’t work it’s the hopper broken.

I’ll take the ground wires out of the ipac, and try them in the earth on the 12v Hopefully it will now work Thanks

So @No1Stoney if I was to use a regular 12volt transformer there would be 2 wires inside (brown and blue) which I should then be able to connect the 3 lives in a block to the brown wire and then the 3 0v to the blue wire. Is that correct Thanks a lot

Currently I have the ground wires in gnd on the ipac board as I imagined that is what it would need to earth it. So do you think that will be the issue Thanks

@No1Stoneyor do you think it won’t need returns as there isn’t any on the diagram? Thanks

Hi I’ve just checked all my wires and they seem ok, It’s just I noticed that there is 3 12v live wires going in and 3 ground wires coming out but no returns coming out. I just wondered if that is normal because it is strange to me as every live that goes in something, some where along the lines needs a return. Thanks

Yes I thought that wouldn’t stop it working

It says 24v on the hopper but I have 12v going into it do you think that’s the problem.

Yes I tried test hopper and nothing happened! I will check my wiring just in case there’s a wrong wire. Thanks

I’ve had a look on the hopper for a jumper pin but to be honest I’m not sure what that even is Ive found something with 3modes on not sure what it means! Also had a look on the bottom to see if there is any switches or anything but there isn’t. Thanks @No1Stoney

Hi @No1Stoney the lights now work great, except hopper still not working! I’ve had a look on the hopper and there is no LED on it to say it’s powered on (I’m not sure if it has one just thought it might have seen as though the coin mech does.) So then checked my wiring Copied this exactly the only difference is my coin detect goes to 1RGHT. And as far as WinIPAC and PacDrive goes this is all I’ve done. Thanks a lot for your help so far, cheers

Thanks a lot mate

Hi @No1Stoney I managed to get WinIPAC working, I just downloaded a different version But I’ve got a few problems if you could help. I have configured the buttons on WinIPAC and PacDrive But when I play the game the buttons function properly except the lights don’t flash or turn on. Also when I collect money after winning the money shows it’s been collected on screen except the hopper doesn’t function this is what I have set on WinIPAC. Thanks
