WAS Noid

[Dark Stranger]

Because it's made by MAC Valves, WAS just sell them under their own name.

It's a direct acting noid so draws quite a bit more current than most others (Think it's 4W from memory), you may find your board just shuts down if you try to use one.

Would it work on an ego?

 

[Strawb]

I don't know if an ego board could supply the noid with enough current, there are some issues with certain timmy boards shuting down with them.

You may want to wait a while before trying to fit one to an ego, planet may have similar thoughts

o.k, I will leave it to the experts!

It will work for your first game, but then you may have to change your battery!

 

[Dark Stranger]

Even with a Tadao / Lucky board?

How do you overcome the power issue? Higher amp battery?

 

[John C]

Most decent boards can supply enough power to operate the mac noid, but you need code written specifically to power a direct acting solenoid, otherwise you will eat your battery as Flash has pointed out.

 

[Dark Stranger]

Is this something that Planet are working on?

 

[7lash]

I don't know, they don't tell me anything around here!
