    So I've been around the hobby now for awhile.

    I'd like to take my skills to the next level and that requires some more fine grain knowledge of board tech.

    Soldering, desoldering, adding pins and connectors are not what I am talking about.

    Is there a go to Pinball Tech for dummies book that can get someone started without asking to many questions?

    How are the Scores communicated to the Backbox on pinball machines.

    How are Scores communicated to the DMD?
