dual_wound_coils:
This is a config file reference. Click for instructions.
This page is reference material which explains every setting and option for this section of an MPF yaml config file. See the instructions for config files for formatting and other details. See our guide to config file examples for more examples of real configs in action.

The dual_wound_coils: section of your config is where you configure
dual-would coils that are added to your "coils" device list which can
be used anywhere in MPF.
Here's an example:
coils:
c_hold:
number:
allow_enable: true
c_power:
number:
default_pulse_ms: 20
switches:
s_eos:
number:
dual_wound_coils:
c_dual_wound:
hold_coil: c_hold
main_coil: c_power
eos_switch: s_eos
In the configuration above, a new coil called c_dual_wound is created
that, when enabled, would energize both the c_hold and c_power
coils. Then when the s_eos switch is activated, the c_power coil
would be de-energized, leaving just the c_hold coil active until the
c_dual_wound coil is deactivated.
Note
Note: Dual-wound flipper coils are configured in the flippers: section
of the config, so you don't have to define them here. Other dual-wound
coils (like for diverters, etc.) should be defined here since other MPF
devices do not have explicit support for dual-wound coils.
Required settings
The following sections are required in the dual_wound_coils: section
of your config:
hold_coil:
Single value, type: string name of a coils: device. Defaults to empty.
The name of the hold coil winding. This coil must be a valid coil
defined in your coils: section.
main_coil:
Single value, type: string name of a coils: device. Defaults to empty.
The name of the main (power) coil winding. This coil must be a valid
coil defined in your coils: section.
When this dual-wound coils is enabled, this coil will be pulsed for the
number of milliseconds specified in the original coil's
default_pulse_ms: setting.
Optional settings
The following sections are optional in the dual_wound_coils: section
of your config. (If you don't include them, the default will be used).
eos_switch:
Single value, type: string name of a switches: device. Defaults to empty.
The name of a switch which, when activated, will disable the power to the main coil winding.
