Does anyone know where in the manual or what the wiring is supposed to be for the mini PF optos?

I bought a new board from GLM for my Dr. Who but the original boards have issues with optos registering in the incorrect place (Left most opto registering on the right as an example) so I want to verify the wires to the correct pin number on the board.

I can't seem to find that listed in the manual, so figured I would check here and see if anyone knew.

Is it in the game's software ? ( I haven't checked )

I know for coils and lamps it is. Try it and see.

Go to single switch test. Stop on the opto in question. Hit the start button and then start hitting the + diagnostic button. On lamps and coils this will step you through wiring and connector info and more.

I guess that would at least show me the wire color.

But if someone has the actual pin out I'd still like to see it to make sure I don't make a mistake.

Actually thinking about it I just realized I'm a dumbass

With the original boards I was having an issue with the eclip getting stuck on the optos, so I switched the boards around (Transmitter from bottom to top and receiver from top to bottom)

So it explains why the opto on the left, is now the opto on the far right
