Recently joined the club with a premium and my build date is 12/27. I'm not sure if I have a "ball guide" issue or not. When I try the back door skill shot, I am able to drop it in the hole behind the house/garage and it comes out the cellar, but nothing registers that the skill shot was made. Any ideas?
Thanks
Quoted from extendo:Thanks for that, I have never heard a call out.
I am in the same boat. I am on code .92 and have never seen or heard any acknowledgment that I made the back door skill shot. The ball will come out of the cellar, but no skill shot award. I checked the back door opto in a switch test and it is registering.
Quoted from SKWilson:There is a vertical opto at the entrance to the back door. You can only see it when the house is removed.
Okay. Let's see if we can track this down.
1. You are plunging the ball to the back door, correct?
If no, you're doing it wrong.
If yes, continue...
2. When you plunge the ball to the back door, are you getting any kind of text on the display showing a shot was made? "Back Door / 1,000,000 / Start (Light) Advance Haunt"?
3. When you plunge the ball to the back door on ball one, does a haunt start?
If the answer to 2 and 3 is no and both switches are working in test (47 - Cellar Back Door Opto; 48 - Cellar VUK micro), the only thing I can think of trying would be to re-install the current code.
Anybody else have any thoughts?
I am currently out of town and will reaffirm when I get back. Without taking the house off, I took a Long straw and put it down into the back door and the switch registered. Is there another switch I need to check? I haven’t tried reinstalling the code. The answer to 2&3 is no.
Thanks for your help everyone,
Jason
Quoted from SKWilson:So I pulled my glass, put the game into switch test and dropped a ball into the back door. It should trigger switch 47 then switch 48. This happens very quickly so you have to be looking at the upper left corner of the UI to catch it. My guess is your opto is not registering.
(I also checked to make sure no other switches are needed to score the skill shot. Triggering the opto is good enough to get it.)
Thank you very much, I will check that when I get home this weekend.

Thank you for saying what to look for. I checked these and it appears something is plugged in wrong. Switch 44 is registering as Cellar Enter Opto and Switch 47 is registering as Cellar Back door Opto. (Switch 48 is registering correctly). When I drop the ball into the back door its registering switch 44, then switch 48. If I throw it throw the front of the cellar, it registers 47 then 48, and 47 when leaving back through the front again. Basically I assume it should register switch 47 then 48 if I drop it in the back. If I test the front cellar it should register when entering 44 then 48.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks for your help,
Jason
Quoted from SKWilson:Both sides of the connections are labelled. Make sure the connections match.[quoted image]
Thank you very much! That fixed the issue. The labels matched up, but I kept thinking it had to be it, so I went ahead and switched the connections. The back door skill shot now works and the switches test in the correct sequence. Once again, I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Jason
