I appreciate everyone's support. My XPin line of products has taken off so strongly, my manufacturing house is having a hard time keeping up. That's a good problem to have. Right now all my Power Supplies are back in stock and I have the shipments to the distributors enroute so they should be updated shortly.

Keep watching for more announcements though. Things are definitely happening!

Don't get left behind!

Crash,

Wasn't aware of it. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I want to get my hands on it. Send me your contact info and via [email protected]. I will pull one out of stock and retest, then send it out to you.

All of the products are tested before they leave the CM so I need to check this out.

Right now I am at my day job so I do not have access to any of my schematics or documentation. Let me give you a call tonight and we will work through it. I have this supply in my Rollergames and Game Show (I always use my own games for testing before releasing) and haven't heard this issue. I will test and work them to see what maybe happening.

P.S. Send me a number to my [email protected] so that I can call you.

The challenge with what your asking is that GI is 5.7Vac (ac voltage) which you get through a multi-tap transformer. Since solenoids are powered through rectified AC with a single big cap, when you fire the, when you fire your solenoids, if the cap is old, it will drag the entire transformer down causing all of the other non regulated voltages to drop slightly. The best thing you could do is replace that big cap on your solenoid bridge.

I looked into converting the GI into DC but that it was an expensive solution. Most GI requires ~20A @ 5.7Vac. The heat generated with the conversion was too great. Most didn't like it.

Jeff, where are you at in PHX? This is where XPin is made. I live in Gilbert.
