My parts will come today and maybe I’ll have time to work on it this weekend. I think that I’ll add a small perf board between my jackpot and the sensors where I’ll connect the capacitors and resistors. That way I don’t need to figure out how to fit them in the mounting part that way people who want to use my model don’t have to get the exact same capacitors as me etc. And I won’t need to populate the 5v header because I’m lazy and don’t want to take the board out of its box.
Just for fun I did a quick model of the switching circuit on the jack pot. If anyone is curious you can follow this link and click the switch on and off and see how current flows through the pull up resistors etc. circuit sim. I added the pull up to 5v for the hall effect switch but modeled the rest of it as just the switch for simplicity.
