Hi.

My Getaway is reporting "Check SW 85 Opto Made Loop". In the switch matrix, this is listed as SW84. On the diagram, SW 84 is Listed as Opto Made Loop, SW 85 isn't even labelled on the picture / diagram. Completely missing a label on the picture / diagram is the opto just beneath the mountain plastic of the ramp, I'm thinking this must be the actual Opto Made Loop switch, since when I test it it doesn't respond. Also, when I run the supercharger speed test, it reports a ridiculous "2". I don't think this loop is happening in 2 ms.

I've tried pulling J205/J206 and jumpering pins to test these, but that doesn't seem to work. The switch matrix gets wonky in some of the J205 pins, maybe this is why.

Can anyone confirm if the Opto Made Loop switch is the one at the right side of the supercharger, and tell me how to test it so I can figure out if it is a switch problem or a board problem?

What I suspect is Opto Made Loop switch, with some variable and mysterious number in the manual

Oh that is sweet advice, thanks! I'll try that tonight.

So the voltages didn't match the expected numbers on Pinwiki for any of my opto, but the voltages for this opto just weren't there. I received new ones from PBR yesterday, and replaced both emitter and receiver tonight. Badabing. The switch now tests ok, as does the supercharger speed test (I have some tweeking to do here, in the 120-130 range).

Thanks for the guidance!

Aaaugh and bleargh!! I now know that all my highest scores are bull! My best scores are when I make multiple loops with supercharger activated. I would keep hitting the supercharger for rounds of 5M/10M/15M, then 20M/25M/30M, etc. Now I know that I got multiple loops at a time because the machine couldn't count with that opto out. Now I only get 5M. The I have to hit it again for 10M, then again for 15M. It takes much longer to build up a big loop score, and really big scores will never be possible.

Maybe I should put the broken parts back. :p
