What signals are best for home use on a data counter

[Drunkenclam]

One thing I did while learning my game, is to just take out the glass and then feed the balls directly to whatever I wanted to score points.
I haven't seen any games yet that have sensors to confirm whether or not the glass is in there.
Might be something to look into while plugging away and figuring out exactly what you get from each counter.

Yep thats the way I test a new machine when I get it too. Normally till I hit a jackpot and can also make sure the trapdoor works, counter sensor in trap down. and the high probablity tulip if has one.
