Hi mfoam
my text I have written NOT knowing about post-11, post-12. You do make descriptions on "stepping to next ball / (next player)" - still: By now I am ONLY interested in "Outhole-Relay pulls in AT WHAT point in time on the time axis".
Hi mfoam
great - it works in the "Start-up / Reset-Cycle".
I did some testing in my Space Mission. The activation of the "Ball-Index-Relay" is wired strange - many times I wondered about the result of a test --- only to find out (after a while - after re-checking) that the Ball-Index-Relay was not activated - arghh.
I have taken two pictures from "ipdb - Space Mission" and put together in an JPG -
Look at the JPG, lower half. First is the transformer, then the Game-Over-Relay, then the Ball-Index-Relay. Start a game - pin does reset ... comes to idle / stop --- by now the Ball-Index-Relay is not pulling.
With a finger press the armature (anchor-plate) of the Ball-Index-Relay and take the finger away - the Ball-Index-Relay MUST stay pulling - does it in Your pin ?
Look at the JPG, upper half. You press with an finger and close the Outhole-Switch (You simulate: Ball is lost and enters the Outhole).
I refer to JPG, post-2 --- "My G-Target" does advance the Bonus ladder.
I now ask You to do testing "starting with 8" - then with 7 - then 6,5,4,3,2,1 so:
Start a game - after reset is done: ACTIVATE the Ball-Index-Relay (do not forget to actuate it) - the Ball-Index-Relay stays pulling, fine.
Now with "my G-Target" step the Bonus-Ladder to 8 bonus --- then activate the Outhole-Switch, listen to the "stepping-down-sound of Bonus-Unit" and WATCH the Outhole-Relay - it is allowed to pull-in AFTER the Bonus has stepped down to Zero.
OK, same test starting with 7 bonus (DO NOT FORGET to activate the Ball-Index-Relay) - (You can simply use ball-2 of the test-game You have just started for test-8).
OK, same test starting with 6 bonus ().
OK, same test starting with 5 bonus ().
OK, same test starting with 4 bonus ().
OK, same test starting with 3 bonus ().
OK, same test starting with 2 bonus ().
OK, same test starting with 1 bonus ().
My assumption is: Around 5,4,3 bonus You say: Pin acts different. And the information "test starting with ?????? bonus" is important - and important is: WHAT is different (I have the feeling the Outhole-Relay pulls-in TOO early - but You must verify this theses), greetings Rolf
P.S.: Never forget to activate the Ball-Index-Relay ...
