The first thing that I did in terms of wiring for the coin door was to get the wires run for the power. This is a fairly straight forward concept. I have seen people wire up these 12V lights using computer power supplies, but again thanks to that night at the local Sportz Bar here in Charleston, I had a switching power supply to do this for me. In this picture, you can see that I soldered the hot and
neutral wire to the 12V lights that came with the coin door from Happ's. |

Next came the coin micro switch wiring. This is no different than wiring up a switch on the control panel, but the Normally Open and Normally closed are reversed for some reason. You can tell from the picture what I have connected (red wire is ground). These wires will run up into the control panel cavity and connect to the IOX36 breakout board. Don't forget that if you want one coin mech. associated with player 1 and 2, you will have to run them to the corresponding connector on your keyboard encoder. |

Next, I neatened up the wiring and anchored the wires to the coin cage. I also ensured that I had enough wiring to fully open the door for maintenance. |

Here it is all wired up for your viewing pleasure. |

And finally, installed in the cabinet. |
