Hey all,
I have gone as far as my abilities will allow me on an issue I'm having with a Pinbot. I cannot figure out why the knocker coil will not fire.
I have checked the ohm's of the coil, 4.2, so that looked good. I snipped the diode and it checked out ok and it is orientated with the band facing the black/brown wire. I'm getting a voltage reading on both lugs of the coil so no broken internal winding. The out hole kicker that shares the same transistor is working, so no issue there.
When I put the coil in test, the GI lights dim slightly when it is trying to fire the knocker. I'm wondering if I have a broken wire somewhere but I cannot determine from the diagram what wires are supposed to be where. The black/brown I see goes to one lug of the coil with an orange on the other side. The orange, I assume, is a common ground? Maybe it would help if someone would explain how to read the wire color and connections diagram.
