Hey Piere,

About a year and a half ago, I was in your same boat...

Quoted from pinheadpierre:

I have read a dozen or so threads/articles aimed at em beginners and watched nearly as many YouTube tutorials but am still stumped with the schematics.

...I, too, was really kind of in a haze about how to use a schematic.

But through the help of many benevolent pinsiders (not the least of which, BingoPodcast, is commenting on this thread already...so you're in good hands), I was able to make some steps toward understanding these electrical road-maps of our games. I did a couple write-ups, from a VERY BEGINNER PERSPECTIVE here:

~and a little further down that thread~

Perhaps that will help a little.

To my surprise, I recently used the aforementioned schematic reminders to work my way through a recent bout of trouble-shooting all by my lonesome. It was pretty empowering.

All the best with your new acquisitions!
Ryan
