I am in need of a digital scoring system for use in an old pinball machine.
A friend is redesigning the entire machine and would like to replace the
old mechanical scoring system with a modern, LED display of about 6-7
digits. What type of circuitry are we looking at here, both to drive the
display, compute the math, and correctly award point values for different
things (bumpers, targets, etc.) which are hit in the playfield? IMHO, I
think this is quite a big project to tackle, but I thought it'd be worth
the effort to see what kind of suggestions I'd receive. Thanks in advance,
- Clint
