supered Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoj Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raikkoh Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 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?
