      Hello guys, i have seen people with trouble similar to mine, but i'm not finding what i need, so i'm gonna ask. Well, i bought a coin acceptor model JY-923 ( this one - https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/CH-923-multi-coin-selector-for-3-kinds-of-coins/383101709.html) well, I've configured the coin step and seems to work fine. My problem is that this machine came with four wires, two of them to energy supply and the other two related to COIN and COUNTER. Well, what happens I've bought and arcade kit (https://www.amazon.com/Easyget-Encoder-Joystick-Illuminated-Buttons/dp/B00WAY9848/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523819001&sr=8-3&keywords=retropie+arcade+kit) and the USB board where i connect the buttons, joystick and so on has three connectors. But those USB boards have a plug with four wires, two black, and yellow and a red, I've noted the yellow one receive the electric signal, so, when i turned on my coin acceptor and connected to those wires the emulator FBA received many signals at once, what means that when i connected the COIN or the COUNTER wire with the board wire it keeps putting credit forever, like i was pressing a button. Well, my guess is that there is energy going trough the wire even if i do not insert a coin. Well, someone have a idea if i should buy another cable to the coin acceptor or this could be a problem with the machine itself?
