This tread shows the wiring for the Magneto disk motor on an XMLE. Gandalf37j is making a mod to add this motor for the standard XMen and needed some photos and layout of the components that control the disk motor. I think I've traced all the circuits and found all the schematics for how this works (not very detailed in the manual).

Basics of the circuit:

The motor runs off of 24VAC. The two sides of the circuit are J10-1 on the power driver board and from the transformer

A relay (part number 511-5259-01) controls the power to the motor. The relay is driven by J7-1 and J7-9 on the power driver board.

Glad this helps and hope you had some fun in Vegas. Keep us posted on your progress and let me know if you need more photos or other details.

Nice work!

Sounds like you are making good progress. Have you figured out if the Pro code has the code for turning on and off the disk?

J6 and J7 will have voltages across the pins, with the transistor gating the ground. For fun, you may want to just bridge to one of the flashers and see if you can get the motor to spin when that flasher is triggered. Once you know it works as expected, you can then figure out how to trigger the spin at more appropriate times during gameplay.

Arduino code is like C++
