Coin Mech Power Dilemma!!
PMiddy001:
Hi all,
I've been following Brian's tutorial in connecting up a coin acceptor in the hope of using the coin kit software. The PC I'm using is one that was supplied with my Sound Surfer Juke Box (I believe the coin mech was fitted to this machine for cosmetic purposes and has never been connected to the PC before) - Dell Optiplex FX160.
Following the tutorial, I've made the wire as instructed but after opening up the PC, I'm guessing the only way of connecting the 4 pin power cable is to splice into the black and yellow wires as shown in the picture below. Why is there 2 of each colour and does it matter which black and which yellow one I choose to cut in to?
Thank you in advance,
Pete

Sorry, the picture doesn't seem to want to attach itself. I created a new account too!

Hi Pete I would say that you have to meter those wires before you connect anything because you never no if they are using non standard wire colouring, just test em before you connect your serial lead or coin acceptor...
PMiddy001:
Thanks for that, Steve.
I know this will be a silly question, but do you know why there are 2 yellow and 2 black coming from the PSU? - It's strange why I'm not able to attach a picture to my post. You may be able to find it from the below link.

I dont know for sure but I was told that the different wires are for diferent parts of the pc like drives,cpu etc
as for pictures I think they have to be of type jpg and they have to be small (bytes not dimensions)
