    Having a good time with my new em Olympics and on my way to buy three more em’s. Just got sure shot and cross town and love them. Slight problem with Olympics someone put three sainsmart 16 relay boards in sand never finished has a salon board and I don’t have a clue what I stil need or if I need as well as what to do. Help please

    I posted this in your other thread about this game:

    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    That said, the "electronics salon D-269" board is a shield for an Arduino Mega.
    (Warning--the video on this page auto-plays): https://czh-labs.com/products/electronics-salon-prototype-screw-terminal-block-shield-board-kit-for-arduino-mega-2560-r3

    So essentially, you are missing the processing unit that would (presumably) contain all the code to run the game (if it was finished). And that plugs into the shield board (the D-269 board).

    A shield board is basically an adapter between an arduino and something you're connecting the arduino to.
    I can't quite read a make and model on the relay boards, but if you google that, you'll probably come up with more info about those boards and how they operate.

    This is really beyond the scope of electromechanical game repair, and crosses over significantly into custom/homebrew pinball.

    This might help a little bit, but the site is mainly focused on more modern electronic game platforms, rather than retrofitting electronics into an EM game: https://pinballmakers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

    If you're serious about tackling this project, you'll need to do a pretty substantial amount of research, have to have a pretty good understanding of EM games, as well as a good understanding of arduino platform, and additionally, be able to figure out what the previous game owner was attempting to do, and figure out if things were actually done correctly in a way that could actually operate the game.

    All I can say is I wish you the best of luck if you decide to tackle this project, but I wouldn't recommend it, especially for a beginner.

    At the very least, you're missing the brain of the game (the arduino board) that would control everything, and code to run it.

    Looks like someone attempted to replace the logic of the game with solid-state. I think these are your options:

    - find another Olympics and restore it to original using an existing one as reference
    - pick up where the previous owner left off, you'd better have a good programming/electronics background to even attempt it
    - part the game out
    - sell it to someone crazy enough to try options 1 or 2

    It kinda looks like they took the stepper units out and tried to replicate the functionality with relays fired by custom code.
