Good morning 9 Pin Wiring Diagram.docx (259kb) downloaded 19 time(s).


I am trying to wire my Marklin 7051 magnetic crane to a video game joystick using a 9 pin male adaptor pin for the joystick's female 9 pin plug. I am using a wiring diagram provided at http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects and advice from the attached post from a Marklin User Net Forum member. After wiring the pin and connecting it to the wires from the Marklin crane and to my Marklin 6667A 16VA transformer I am able to raise and lower the crane magnet and swing the crane back and forth. When I push the joystick's fire button it turns the magnet on and also raises the magnet. I need more assistance with understanding the wiring diagram and especially what to connect the wire from the No. 6 (firing) pin on the male adaptor to. I have also attached an Iphone photo of the wiring of the crane cable wires to the plugs connected to t[/size]he 9 pin socket.


Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks/Mike

I've created this general wiring sketch:

The link you posted didn't work, but from the schematic you provided I would hook up the crane as follows:

Pin 1 up - red wire from crane cable
Pin 2 down - red wire from crane cable
Pin 3 right or clockwise - black wire from crane cable
Pin 4 left or counterclockwise - black wire from crane cable
Pin 6 fire or light/magnet - yellow wire from crane cable
Pin 8 common - yellow wire from transformer yellow

The brown wire from the crane should go directly to transformer brown.

I can't really make out the wiring from your photo, but it looks like you've done it as described above. Therefore, check for shorts between the pin 1 and 6 circuits on both the 9 pin plug and socket sides.

Hope this helps,

Harold.
