                                     I did the settings like you mentioned but still did not work. I'll post the pics of the settings to show you.

                           Now the color of the wiring is different from what Rr273 listed. The colors are yellow, brown, and orange.    The wires are active as I tested it. Also the standalone board does react only on jackpot (3 second close of first and fifth pin/ orange and yellow wires)

Your Increment is wrong......

Your 1 is so far behind the decimal point.......I don't want to fathom how many coins you would need to play for the system to increment by just a penny.

You must be thinking like a casino operator  yes

For test purposes put the 1 in front of the decimal.
This should give you a buck for each coin played

Later you can change it to 0.04 which is 4% or 1 cent for each quarter.

                                              AHHH! no wonder why the meter wasn't working! I didn't think much of the decimal points missing and assume just start on the right side like a register. Now it's working! horray!!! The pics sure helped out a lot. I had a feeling it would be hard to explain and easier to just post the pics of how it looks like. I purchased a con 1 board for my other machine so when it comes in I will try to remember how to put it back together. I purchased one for $30 actually today from an Ebay member who just recently sold one yesterday. Hopefully the board is good. Anyway I really appreciate everyones help, many thanks Jay, Stayouttadabunker, R273.  I can finally put this one aside and wait for the con 1 board to come in to fix the other machine that has been waiting for over 3 years to be working again. I'll be experimenting more on this program to learn more about it. Thanks again everyone!

 Congratulations

Glad you got your meter working!  Persistence paid off for you.  yes

For your future reference, you can take nice screenshots in windows without having to actually take the camera to the monitor: just press the  "Print Screen" key on your keyboard (usually in the upper-right part of the keyboard -- sometimes labeled as "PrtScr").  Once you've done that, open up Paint (start > programs > accessories) or your favorite image editing program, then just "paste" (edit > paste).  You'll get an image of everything that was on the screen when you clicked the keyboard button.   propeller

And if you hold down the Alt key while you press PrtScr, you'll grab the active window only. Professor

And like Bunker likes to say:

You learn something new everyday!  yes

I used to do it the KNAGL way, but after I pasted it into the paint window, I then use the selection box for the area that I want to display and I cut it and then paste it into a new paint window. I will try it Bill's way next time I am doing that! K+ to both of you for sharing your secrets with everyone, and for the heck of it!  applause wave

Step for step that's what I'd do -- perhaps no longer, though!

And this is using both the "Alt" & "Print Screen" buttons.
I don't see any difference though.
Am I doing something wrong?>>>

When the active window is in full screen, it will look the same because the active window is in full screen. Open 2 windows and set them side by side and try it again.

Also note that you can paste these screeenshots directly into a rich text file (.rtf) or a Word document, or even an email if you use Outlook.

                                I know about the print screen but my old laptop was not used for the internet and it was plugged next to the machine for programming where I could not hook up to the internet and I was using my desktop so using the camera was much faster for me. Thanks...

Thank you very much for that info brichter!
I can try that soon, but my problem is that whenever I do that,
It saves the screen shot in .rtf (rich text format) and
I cannot post these types of of pictures onto a post here on NLG...
so, if I try to save it onto another format - I lose all the pictures and only get text...
Why can I NOT load an .rtf picture onto an NLG post?
Would there be some possible somewhat easy way to do this?
