4.24 REEL5 control board
The REEL5 control board, shown in Fig. 31, provides direct control of up to five reels, under
supervision of the MPU6 board. An 8-bit on-board processor (cpu) controls each reel
independently, receiving reel positioning requirements from the MPU6 board via the Barbus
serial data link and generating position demands via 8-bit parallel ports.
Each reel is controlled via three interfaces. The reel stepper motor is driven via a REEL
interface, a LAMP interface controls the lamps illuminating the reel symbols and an OPTO
interface receives a reel marker pulse enabling the cpu to determine the reel position at any
time. An additional STROBE interface can provide strobe signals which may be used by
certain games.
