            I agree but in my opinion it is wrong because he takes the signal from COIN and from the meter - in my opinion it makes no sense ....

              makes sense the coin and counter will only register when a valis coin is detected creating a button press. The short (beep) in the video will create a button press on the usb encoder

                    I do not understand. Can you draw it in a graph for me?

                          @grant2258 I have followed this video, but I can't get it to work properly. Maybe it is a version issue (I use a CH-616). When I connect the COIN and COUNTER to the encoder, the voltage is always running. It seems like the contact of the coin module is not potential free. So when I try to use it in retropie, it constanly thinks I am throwing coins in it. Did anyone get this running properly?
