Coin Mech's Issue

Postby Bod on Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:52 pm

Hi All!

This is my first post here.

I have spent the last year building a mame cabinet and it's nearing completion.

In the last 2 weeks I have purchased a coin door/mechs from Gremlin Solutions and I am having some problems
wiring it up. I have wired the bulbs up ok but I am having problems with the microswitches that recognise
a coin has been inserted. I have a credit button on the controller and would like the option of inserting a coin
if I want to. I have two wires from both credit button microswitches that go to the coin mech microswitches
but whatever I connect the wires to on the coin mech microswitches it has the opposite effect of what it should
be thus it's as if the credit button is constantly pushed and whenever I press the switch inside the coin door
to add a credit or insert a coin it's as if the credit button has stopped being pushed. Surely this should work OK
however the microswitches I have on the control panel have two contacts and the microswitches in the coin mechs
have three contacts. How do you wire up the coin mechs. My control panel has a Scorpion XG controller purchased
from a company here in England which is basically the same as the X-Arcade.

Where am I going wrong?

I have since discovered all I should have done is swap the connections around.
