Psycon Posted February 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I will test the ipac and pacdrive later to check for shared ground. @Regis this diagram correct now? The 24v now shares the same ground as the 12v and as the pc shares this ground the ipac and pacdrive should all share the same ground. I wasn't sure if you could put the 12v and 24v negatives together but it seems you can Edited February 1, 2022 by Psycon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That also looks like a common ground - I think that looks alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja272 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 @Psycon @Reg @No1Stoney and anyone else , It was the common ground which was the problem , connected hopper to my pc cable which is 20v and now the hopper works perfect!!!!

With the 24v power connected to common ground the hopper works fine and as it should when you test it. Finally it has life. The only issue I now have is when you click on test it will instantly pay out a coin. If you click on test hoppers there is a delay of about 10 seconds and then it will chuck out a coin. Also when you win in a game it waits for 10 seconds and only pays out 1 coin even if you win a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cja272 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 @Psycon Yes ive cut the cable before it goes into the laptop and its giving out 20v so its powering the hopper fine , not sure if 20v is ok for coin mech if it is i will use it for that and not bother with the other power supply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1Stoney Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Got there in the end. Well done to everyone involved and shows what can be achieved by sharing knowledge and putting heads together. If the hopper stops after 1 coin maybe the coin sensor is dirty ? If the hopper detects a coin for too long across the sensor it stops the hopper as it thinks there is a fault. Am stumped on the 10 second delay though. Has that been resolved now?

Yes a massive thank you to everyone who helped with this! We couldn't have fixed it without your guys help! I will try and test this later. It could have been due to it not being on a proper power supply. I have ordered one now so if it comes today I will wire it up and test it again. If that doesn't work I will clean the coin sensor @No1Stoneyand try again Edited February 2, 2022 by Psycon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also Suzo's cube hopper and Coin control's universal hopper that will also work in these builds. all have to be parallel versions.

No1Stoney Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 No I don't think they are. But I believe they work in such a way that will work with MFME if wired correctly. I don't have any experience with these. The universal one is in Reg's build and I think the wiring is also different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
