No1Stoney Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Ah good. So find out which input is assigned to a 8 7 6 / and 0 and change them to the correct inputs you require Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 @No1Stoney the mech is working right, it is just there is something inside that is making the coins get stuck as I was mentioning before about coins getting stuck. Just wondered if you knew how I can get into it to have a look to see what is making them get jammed. I was going to take that little screw out but I thought I’d ask first just to make sure I don’t break anything. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 @No1Stoney I’ve had that panel off of the mech to see what was making the coins stick and it’s this That pushes back for the coins that are accepted to drop through and when rejected they slide across it to reject hole. What is making them stick is it is not pushing right the way in and when accepted making the coins get jammed between that and the panel. Im just wondering if you think it’s a wire loose or something broke on whatever pushes that little tray in like an electro magnet or something Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi @No1Stoney it doesn’t matter about my question above because I’m sending the mech back and replacing it as it isn’t working properly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Hi @No1Stoney @WibbleWobbleI’ve found 2 of these in the back of my cupboard and thought I’d use them on my machine. So I wired them up, got the lights working but the button press isn’t getting recognised I’m just wondering if I’m wiring the up correct. This is how I wired them, Top left: 5v Top right: Pacdrive Bottom left: 5v Bottom right: IPAC I’m not sure if this is right!

Thanks Don't forget Ipac and Pacdrive use different polarity grounds. One has -5v and the other has +5v Treat every day like your last, because one day it will be! Fruit Machine <<<My new project!

Amusements Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) This diagram I did last week might help, as it shows the difference in polarities for Ipac and Pacdrive. So all your button switch has to do is make a connection between Ipac -5v and what ever pin you are using for that button input.

Hi @Amusements I’m halfway there with your info I’m just wondering, that -5v does it go to ground on the ipac. Now I probably have got this completely wrong Thanks for your help so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voltages go in to the Ipac and Pacdrive via the USB from your PC. All you are doing with the Ipac (for button presses) is conecting the -5V ground pin to what ever pin is programmed for that button press in Winipacv2 software.

davep180 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi @123 Have you got it all sorted now, or are you waiting for another coin mech to arrive? I've been following this with interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted August 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi @davep180 mech just arrived today (the seller replaced it with no issues which is great) getting it rigged up tomorrow. Also tomorrow, I’ll be adding to The Build with the machine completed I’m pleased you have found this thread interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone just wondered if anyone could help me with mGalaxy. I decided to use this as my front end. I have just started setting it up and just wondered if anyone knows how to add covers/screenshots. Thanks Edited September 5, 2020 by 123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 hiya, firstly before anything I’d just like to say rest in peace to wizard it’s such sad news, I’ve just found out about what has happened and I’m completely shocked. RIP. I didn’t know where to put this so I’ve just added it on here, over the last few months I’ve been playing around with my cabinet I made a bit back and have decided that even though it’s good I need to upgrade the pc to windows 10 so I can get the latest MFME and add ons such as dual screen. I did try to update the pc to windows 10 but got an error saying my processor isn’t good enough, so I was thinking of buying an upgraded cpu such as intel i3 or something that will at least run windows 10but I have no idea on whether you can just upgrade any cpu to whatever you wanted. Just wondered if anyone could give me some advise on where to go with this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slasher Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 Hi mate You can't just upgrade any CPU, it needs to be the correct socket on your motherboard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slasher Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 If you grab the free tool CPUZ that apparently gives you info on your CPU and mother board. Failing that, speccy from piriform should do the trick to find out what motherboard you have. Once you've done that, you can research what CPUs are compatible with said board. Another way is to obviously just look at the motherboard. That said, if you do find that it is compatible with a better CPU and decide to go down that path, don't forget the thermal paste and not too much either. Too much can often be worse than too little! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

123 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hi @slasher I’ve been messing around with the pc today and the processor that’s in it according to google should run windows 10. These are the specs so I tried again to upgrade this to windows 10 but got this error so I’m not sure what to do as for all I know this is more than the minimum specs needed.

slasher Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah, that P4 computer will run Windows 10 like crap if you manage to get it on. As in the previous post, that lenovo for £100 is decent, but https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lenovo-Thinkcentre-M81-Intel-i5-2400-3-10GHz-4GB-Ram-500GB-HDD-Windows-10-Pro/193776376196?hash=item2d1df8d984%3Ag%3AS2AAAOSwHVVfx3ta&LH_BIN=1 should do you fine if you have space in the cabinet for it.

123 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 I think this is probably the best option to just buy a new pc. I basically knew this computer would struggle to upgrade to win 10 before I started but what got me wanting to upgrade it was that I had an old laptop given that’s been sat in the attic for years and yesterday I managed to get it on and I upgraded it from win7 to 10 and it surprisingly runs perfectly fine. So that got me thinking about upgrading the one in the cabinet. These are the laptop specs. so I compared these specs with the one in the cabinet and saw that this has the upgraded cpu which is why I was going to put something like an Intel i3 or something like that in it. I mean for the price of these older cpus nowadays if it could work it might pay to try it but if it’s going to be running slow then I will definitely look into buying a pc.
