Hey bro I need help with the strength of the claw machine. Could it be a bad recoil on the claw? Because the claw adjustment is set to high on the machine but still grabs weak.
Adjusting claw strength. Ive gone over it before, but it wasn’t the subject of the video. Usually there are three different potentiometers you can adjust, but it might be on a display screen newer game.
@MattyMosArcade switch on the gantry you mean because I have a error code 04 and I read somewhere that my be caused by a short on the gantry and that the prize sensor light is still lit
@PIDURULZ yes. Check the connection of the big serial plug for the gantry. It probably came loose somewhere along the line. Might have to chase it all the way back.
@MattyMosArcade interesting and would that still be the case even if the machine can go forward back ub down and back to home only think is claw wont close after a new solenoid
Definitely check the switches first. make sure your claw is strung up correctly also. when you hit the button to drop the claw does it just close and not drop? @@MattyMosArcade
Hello I'm new here.. I just bought my wife a claw machine today. Its called the treasure chest. When they delivered it they ran it couple times and one of the times the claw wouldn't drop the prize.. he said the ball was to big..we deflated the ball some and he left... well the claw still wont drop the prize every time it stays clamped closed. Then we have to get the prize unstuck.. it happens every few times ... what could be wrong bc we had the guy come back and he couldn't figure it out. Any ideas...please help...wife not happy lol
@@MattyMosArcade sometimes when you pick a prize up and take it to the prize chute it won't drop the ball and sometimes only two claws have the object while the third claw remains floppy with hardly any contact on the ball.
@@MattyMosArcade could you send us your e mail possibly? MY number is 1-570-867-1061.You may get a much better understanding if you call me I can explain things in good detail,so it wont take long to figure it out. My name is tim.Thanks.
Do you mean left and right or drop speed? I think you can adjust the drop speed in some games, but I think directional movement is at a fixed speed. That is typical, but I'm sure there are exceptions. Try googling the name of the game and manufacturer for a service manual.
Great videos! I did a home build with the same kit, but can’t get the gantry to function correctly. I keep getting a 21 error code (Claw slightly loses tension, then completely unravels when you drop the claw). This has happened with two different gantries I purchased. I tested the up and down limit switches, and they are fine. Any ideas for a fix? You have the most videos for this kit and they are greatly appreciated!
This sounds like it might be a board problem. Check your voltages from the power supply, to be sure everything is ok. Sounds like you have eliminated a lot of other things it could be.
I sent my board back to Holland Computers and they tested and confirmed it’s good. Could the 21 error code be attributed to the coin mech. in some way?

Yeah probably the coil.
awesome video
Is there a video for adjusting the claw to hang on to the prizes tighter or more loose?

hi , bro my machine cant moving right and left but only can move front and black you know what happen?
I'd check the right and left switches in the motor, and also the joystick
How do you pop the casing off of a toy soldier claw machine
Drill the lock.
@@MattyMosArcade thank you
My impulse claw machine claw wont close even after a new solenoid any advice
It’s probably the switch

By any chance if you would know I have a elaut maga crane it goes left and right but don't drop would you know what might be wrong
Sounds like a bad motor
@@MattyMosArcade yes that what I thought but it goes down one or two times then it stops again
I'd check the switches and voltages, also make sure the string isn't getting tangled. It could be a board issue though.

If the prizes arent too big, is the claw staying locked closed? Probably a stuck switch, but could be a bad board.
The prizes are not too big and yes it does stay locked closed and doesn't release the prize

Do you mean motherboard I assume?

can he upload a video connecting the two wiring ?
Showing how to splice wires/wiring?
@@MattyMosArcade like if i add a gold crane claw where does the red and white wire attach to?
they each only have two wires. try it, if it doesnt work, try the other way.@@tinvo9376
can you upload a video to show
@tinvo9376 yeah I can do that!
how do you slow down the movement

can i have one for my claw machine my claw machine ni have any cranes🥺

I can probably help you. Give me a few minutes to clean up the shop.
MattyMo's Arcade Great, thanks!

MattyMo's Arcade Thanks for the feedback. I’m a hacker, so not sure how to do this.
