Hooking up a mikohn to my S+

[stayouttadabunker]

I think he meant "0-0" when under the <9> option for disabling the machine but leaving the lights on.
When the machine is disabled, it looks like <9> "1-1".
Which can also mean dial  "9-1-1" for the machine needs help!....

Soooo..been almost a week..did we ever get this working properly or come to any sort of conclusion as to the state of the motherboard? 

[jstraa]

Yes that is what I meant, I'm so sure the dip switches are ok, cable is ok.
But menu option 9 is in my case changing the machine to disables (which by the way I can't save)
I probably will take some pictures to clearify everything. I'm also planning to use SP 1271 maybe that can help me.

Both dipswitches 5 & 8 must be on.....

[jstraa]

5 and 8 are (on my casing) for linked progressives, this is a stand alone.
I just tried it, no luck with that as well.

[rickhunter]

When connecting a Mikohn to an S+, you set it up as a linked progressive, since it is the mikohn that takes care of the progressive bookeeping.   Stand alone is only used with the 7 digit led boards that go behind the top award glass opening on the glass.

[jstraa]

I see, thanks rick for pointing that out

[jstraa]

I guess I have to see something like this?

Link Progressive
Display <9>   This page is displayed only if DIP switch 5 is set for progressive (on position) and DIP switch 8 is set for link progressive (on position).  Winner Paid window indicates which levels are enabled {1} or {2}, Coins Played window = 9.  Press the Spin Reels player switch to display progressive information.  Winner Paid window = first 3 digits of the progressive dollar amount, Credits window = last 4 digits of the progressive dollar amount (does not include decimal amounts).  Both external displays also show the progressive amount.  Coins Played window = progressive level 1 or 2.

But still this isn't showing!

Here are some images so that you can verify

[jstraa]

And some more ...

To make it even more clear, I've made a video (I shorten 2 wires and the progressive goes up!)

YOU GOT IT WORKING.... Yea !   

   A LOT of effort and but well worth it..  and THANKS for all the pics

  I guess I have a unique situation as I have BOTH a Mikohn externally hooked up along with a "mini photon" in the S+ itself and have it set up as a stand alone     I sure hope I didn't mislead anyone and create more of a problem in a already complex situation? 

[jstraa]

No it's not working, the mikohn works, but the IGT is still not sending pulses!

[jay]

Thor: Your not alone. I found I needed the 1271 to get the IGT to be the second level "standalone" and the Mikon to be the top level progressive. The reverse is not supported in 731.

Jstraa: Everything looks good from a physical stand point. Lets get into your settings. What are your "9" settings at ?

[jstraa]

I only get a 00 and 1 (which is option 9) on the "9" I still get that I can disable or enable the machine. But no "9" options like supposed (I read in the PSR)!

[jay]

I bet you are in the wrong area.
Take a look at this document submitted by R273

Its in the UPLOAD a new file area.
IGT_S+_PSRs_&_TEST_OPTION_SHEETS_SIMPLIFIED_V3.zip

[jstraa]

That's what I used
I pressed 16 times on the white button, and then I get 0  0 on winner paid and a 9 on coins played

[jstraa]

In this video you can see for yourself, I open the door press the white button 16 times, and then ...
The last few seconds are that I'm disabling the machine, non relevant!

[jay]

So then did you hit the SPIN WHEEL BUTTON to change from a 0 0 to a 0 1

[jstraa]

yes

[stayouttadabunker]

do it again, but make it zeros>>>>>>>>>>000000000000000000000000000's please?


1's disable your game....think of dialing "911" = equaling "HELP!"

[jstraa]

Yes figured that out, but I thought you meant the 01 before that

[jstraa]

On the PSR that was suggested credits 0 winner paid 31 says (self test) Set chip required, is that true?

[jstraa]

Ok ok ok, I got it to work, not with a SP731 but with a SP1271, had I done this before I would have saved you, and myself, loads of time. Progressive worked instantly after I did the setting, still no clue what's wrong with my SP 731, I didn't had the options so it looks like it doens't use my dip settings.
For now I am a happy progressive owner! Thanks to all who helped!
