supered 3 Posted September 22 Hi, I have written a little document how to prevent the (cheap) solenoids to burn out of your cabinet. It may give (some) a hint how to prevent that. It's a technical document, so I hope it is understandable. regards Ed Preventing Solenoids to burn out V1.0.pdf 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoj 0 Posted November 17 Great article. Nice explanation of the how and why of solenoid wiring.. Solenoid's parallel diode Solenoid's series resistor/capacitor (in parallel) pair. Possibly(?) not related to to solenoid burnout, but it might also be worth mentioning (with some CRO measurements to illustrate the point) the third solenoid wiring option using the "solenoid parallel capacitor" to avoid "USB disconnects".. http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/BuildGuideV2/BuildGuide.php?sid=troubleshooting#usbDisconnects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raikkoh 0 Posted Tuesday at 07:36 PM Hi, thanks for the article. I was going to make a cabinet and i was thinking the same that you. Also i just want the flipper feedback effect. Do you know what would be the cheapest way to make 2 solenoids work? Is it supposed to need a USB board? What would be the cheapest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
