Back on my VUK ejector coil issue after a two weeks break (reminder: my right ejector does not have sufficient power to eject the ball correctly in the wire ramp).
I've performed a few measurements:
- Measured resistance directly from the power board: 4.3 Ohms
- Measured resistance directly at the coil: 3.9 Ohms
Since the coil is new I have no reason to believe this would be incorrect, plus the value seems rather in line.
I measured simultaneously using a Picoscope the waveforms of both end of the coil, directly at the coil connections, here's what I get (I'm applying a ratio of 10 on the probe to match the scope input, so it's measuring 70V)
The very nice inversed square waveform is the drive signal
The not so nice signal is supposed to be the power line, which should be kept at 70V
So from that measurement, I would be tempted to think the issue is that the voltage drop of the 70V line is causing a drop of the voltage difference, especially after 5ms.
However I lack comparison points, and it could be that this is a perfectly normal curve, so I would welcome any feedbacks you can share
Thanks
