Quoted from Crrispy:Hi,
I want to trigger a mod with a coil on my Ghostbusters. I've added a small 48V relay soldered to the coil (captive balls release on the left), and the relay contact triggers the mod.
Problem is that it works perfectly fine in coils test mode, but not in game, and I can't understand this. Is the voltage used ingame lower than in test mode? That does not make sense. Really strange.
Yes voltage is lower during a game,Voltage is higher in test mode
Quoted from kermit24:Spike uses a variable power supply system. I would be careful about hooking anything additional up to the high voltage circuits.
Yes that is right
