Hi All

Have a roadshow where sw 46 hit Ted does not work. The machine worked fine for a few weeks when I first got it then came up with the error.

It has a pinbits auto eddy board but since you can't manually calibrate these I can't do much with it. Wiring to the sensor under the playfield looks solid. Wondering if I can test resistance or something of the sensor to verify it works, or if there are any voltage or other tests I can conduct on the pinbits board?

Quoted from LTG:

If it's adjustable. Turn the potentiometer on the board until the LED goes on, then turn back just until the LED goes out. Check in Tests - Switch Edge - roll a ball over it.
LTG : )

Thats the issue wit hthe pinbits ones - they are not adjustable. Have tried rolling the ball over the sensor and get nothing - hence why i am wondering how i can verify the sensor is OK. I'm away at the moment, but i think i tried swapping the sensor input into another working eddy board in roadshow and its still didn't register
