We can also custom manufacture PCBs, adaptors, or write custom firmware/software for RFPay. We design all of it in-house at our Baltimore, MD studio.
Good luck!

This 8-pin ‘Molex’ style cable is the recommended way to get power into the node from the arcade, and to hook up coin pulse output and ticket printer emulation to your arcade machine.

For powering the board: The two GND and the two HT lines are all connected together, you can use either or both of them depending on your needs (we design for flexibility).
On a typical arcade, you will hook the HT line up to a +12V DC source, and GND to the arcade ground or negative terminal. Usually you can find these things right near the coin door.
<aside> ⚙ For “Coin Comparator” mechs: which have only 3 lines on them, see Coin “Comparator” Mech hookup for how to hook them up.
