Hi folks,
Does anybody know if there is a way to get the Money Control compact hopper to work with an IPac and Pac-Drive?
I've read all the info i cam find and it would appear to suggest that the system is looking for a hopper where the common or -ve is switched to activate coin ejection.
On the compact hopper it is the +ve which is switched to activate the motor.
Thanks in advance.
Pete

Hi Pete,
You can't drive it directly but it's pretty easy to knock up a driver using a PNP transistor like the one below:

Do a google search on PNP transistor switch or PNP high side driver. I would suggest something like a TIP 127 as the transistor and don't forget to add a diode across the load to prevent back emf

Hi Wizard,
Many thanks for your reply, that is great, I will try building that circuit and see how I get on.
I have ordered one of these:

So will see if that works.
Looking forward to more parts arriving.

Yes that should work fine also.

Hi Folks,
Finally got some time to have a bit more of a go with the items that I have ordered and I have a strange issue.
I am testing things using the Hulk £25 DX on Scorpion 5 tech as a test bench. I can get the hopper to be recognised and it will pay out, however on multiplier 1 the relay just click and the motor runs for a fraction and then stops. on multiplier 2 I get 3 coins for every 2 that should be paid out. Anybody any idea what I might be doing wrong?

I suspect that I have rectified the issue with the hopper, as a good clean of the Optical sensor seems to have got this machine working, however MPU5 technology machines will activate the hopper but they do not seem to coin count and I am getting sporadic over payments.
Is there a setting anybody has seen that controls this count?

Hi Wizard,
On the pac drive interface in the outputs when I select the multiplier at 5 on the hopper one and for the hopper two the multiplier at 1. only the multiplier 5 is taken into account for both hoppers is it possible to run the two tremors with two different multipliers ?
