Title: Looking for pinout and voltage for a Bally Player tracking panel
Post by: stoosh on October 24, 2022, 04:39:33 PM
Hello,

Anyone know the voltage input and the pin out for the power input on this Bally player tracking board? I bought this thing and was hoping to just get some power to it so I dont have to look at dead electronics, its better than a blank plate, but would be much better with lights. Thank you for any help you can provide.

here is a pic of how it is daisy chained with phone lines.  the last one connects to a Mastercom 250 which sends the message to display.  The second pic shows one displaying -Slot tickets have no cash value, etc

We had many posts on the old site, and I'm sure some are here, but I have to go for now.


Thanks,
Wayne

Hi - You can do more than just make them light up - The Arduino TITO and Player Tracking Project: https://github.com/marcrdavis/ArduinoTITO-PlayerTracking

Thank you for the reply, I should have been a little more specific. I have this mounted in my IGT game king to fill the space where an ugly blank usually is. All I am looking to do is find out what voltage lights it up and what pins need that voltage applied to them. I don't have a Bally machine and looking up this Mastercom 250 is $125 on ebay for a beat up thing. That's more than I'm looking to spend just to light it up.

Hi - the project doesn't use the Mastercom; it allows you to use a small Arduino device to power the display, keypad and card reader to make them functional. You'll be able to set a custom message on the display and do some cool things with the machine; ticket in-ticket out; remote control of the game king via a web browser; use player tracking cards for added realism. If you want to go down that road.

Cool!  I may or may not have been able to program some sat cards back in the 90's  :yes: so I have some experience manipulating things, but not sure if I can follow those instructions well enough to even identify what devices I have here. None of the model numbers mentioned in the pin outs match anything I have. I will study it some more, but it maybe over this old mans head. I have Titos on all my machines, but making the display say cool things would be pretty awesome.

If you can send me the model numbers for your keypad/display/reader I'll look up the data sheets to see if they can be made compatible. It is usually just different pinouts.
