Title: Aristocrat MK540 Coin
Post by: Mazwreck on November 27, 2009, 05:26:00 AM
Hello,

Does anyone know if you can make up a small circuit or anything that i can make so i dont have to use coins anymore for it to trigger credit?

Hi

Its been done for PE+. You will need someone thats fairly clued up with electronics that can figure out the sequence of signals needed  to achieve it. Once you know this it farly simple tp program a microcontroller to do it. Do you have schematics for the coin optic boards and the main processor board ?

Hey,

No i dont have the schematics no.

What do you mean by the PE+?

See this machine someone added a little pcb that was hard wired into the coin optic pcb but for some unknown reason just doesnt work puts machine into error. It used to work (well thats what i was told anyway) but doesnt anymore.

Hi

PE+ - IGT Poker Players edge.
Will go through all my stuff. Can you post a pic of the add on board and the machine.

Hi mate... I already have done one for me cause I needed it in my actual job.   It works with CC-16,  CC-62, MC-40 and MC62 coin comparitors.

I first built one based on PIC16F84 (the good old PIC16F84 never let me down :72- ) and later I built the final version using a smaller microcontroller best suited for this application:  the PIC12F508.

Mine has two connectors:  6Pins and 7pins molex cause there are such variations in the comparitors I mentioned above, then I used three separate outputs of the micro to drive those connectors.  The 6 pins comparitors use only one signal for credit (SENSE), while the 7 pins comparitors use two signals (SENSE & CREDIT)

CC-16 pinout (12VDC) is as follows:

pin - 1 NC   / pin - 2 SENSE   / pin - 3 NC  / pin - 4 NC  / pin - 5 12vdc  / pin - 6 GND  (NC = No Connection)

CC-62 pinout (12VDC) is as follows:

pin - 1 GND  / pin - 2 SENSE   / pin - 3 ERROR  / pin - 4 CREDIT  / pin - 5  NC  / pin - 6 12VDC /  pin - 7 INHIBIT


Hope it helps...   CHEERS!  :88-

So it could be wired into the harness for the optics and comparitor?

Hi reho33, not sure if I understand well your question...  I made my little device with both types of connectors used by coin comparitors in order to use it not only with ARISTOCRAT machines. 

The harness that is usually plugged into the coin comparitor is the one that provides power to my device and interface with the slot machine.

It's meant to be a comfortable way of inserting credits for test only and to be used with main door opened if possible.

Best regards.

No I meant to be used with the door closed as a free play device. A lot of people on here ask about that

I guess that if you make an extension for the original harness it could be used with door closed.  As TZtech, it's a very simple circuit, it's all done with a micro controller.  Good for having fun a weekend at the workshop :)

Best regards
