Trying to understand 'pin mate'. I have the slider figured out, and the revolute, but i can't add the cam slot on this drawing. What am I missing?

I believe the Pin Slot mate only really works for linear slots. What you need is a Tangent mate. If you want to center the pin in the slot you'll need to use an offset construction surface that is the width of your pin.
