Pinbits auto eddy board for Roadshow

[davejuk]

I was having problems with the original bulldozer eddy board on my RS. Basically the pot needed adjusting after just a few games. Annoying. So I ordered 3 x Pinbits auto eddy boards for Roadshow (on pinbits website).

1.) I assume that the 3 eddy boards for this game are all the same and can each be replaced with an auto eddy board?

2.) Having replaced the bulldozer eddy board with the pinbits auto eddy board, I find that it triggers constantly. It doesnt matter whether it is hanging loose or is screwed to the underside of the playfield. I have the jumper set to PLAYFIELD (as advised by pinbits).

I am starting to wonder if they have sent me the wrong board for RS? The 3 I have are marked "Auto Eddy Board 1.0g".

I understand that the difference between the auto eddy boards for different games is the capacitor values used... can anyone tell me what the cap values should be for RS?

Thanks

Let us know how it goes. I'm thinking of getting some of these for my TOM.

Have you tried all 3 pinbits boards in the bulldozer spot? If all 3 are the same and rely on an onboard switch setting to determine which location they're in you should be able to swap them about.

If all 3 have the same issue then it might indicate an issue outside of the boards, e.g. the rollover sensor itself maybe.

If only the one you have connected currently has the issue then looks like its a duff board and I would expect pinbits would likely replace it.

Alternately - Is there anyone on here in a nearby location with a RS you could as to use as a control test for your board(s) for additional diagnosis?

It works fine with the original eddy board - the pot just needs adjusting every few games.

I will try and test with the other 2 auto eddy boards I have to rule out a single faulty board.
