Title: JCM DBV-145 help.
Post by: rcoonjr on April 23, 2009, 05:10:23 PM
I've got several of these units I want to get running to be used in a pinball machine or even video game.  I've gotten a pinout from JCM.  Got the acceptor to take money (crossing pin 7 and 10)  but now I need to know how to get it to send a 'pulse'  so the game or device can see a bill accepted.

The 145s have issues with colored money. You might want to use something newer.

You need  to have the right software.  I believe IDO 03 is the one used in vending equipment.  We have a resident JCM expert here (OpBell) maybe he'll chime in.

Depending on the model DBV-145 (or 45) for pulse, there is some new $5 software available, such as the Cherry Masters or 8 liners, just not for gaming

I hear ya.  I wanna know what pin combinations do I need to make 'pulse'  work.  From what I see on the pinouts ... Pin 2 selects Serial or Pulse.  ok fair enough.  can't figure out for sure where to get the pulse signal from.

might be a dip switch setting that chooses between pulse or serial....
I remember having to flip a dip switch for it to send out pulses on a video game once.
I haven't a clue which dip switch though....try one at a time until you get it going.

On the JCM 145 PB2 the switches are 1 on accept $1 2 on accept $5 3 on accept $10 4 on accept 20 5 thru 7 set amount of pulses per dollar switch 8 used to determine if you have a stacker 9 and 10 on accept $ 50 and $ 100 dollar bills

Hope this helps
