If you use the KSK-1A35-1520 then you can expect a service life time of straight running time of avg. 100,000,000 operations which at 5,000 RPM is: For 4 stroke only using the cam is half the below calcs, except the life time is double. For 2 stroke: 5,000 / 60 = 83.34 per second or 0.08334ms...

So I split the 100 timing cells into 2 and that is now working for uploading to the Nano. Sending 2 back-to-back strings of 50 cells. I'll have to remember this if I decrease the steps or increase the RPM range. I have found that I'll need to optimize the code for the Nano, I'm slowly running...

Yah, all of mine except 1 are the same as your's, old bootloader. The problem I'm having is that the serial com sends all characters as 8 bit characters and has to be converted into uint8_t (unsigned 8 bit integers) on the Nano side. Characters on the Nano side are only 8 bit characters, the...

Well I'm at the point where I need to get the computer program talking to the Nano and the Nano talking to the computer program.:) Slowly getting there. Ray

Yes Ray

I did a search for Free gauges that work with C# and serial data and came up with the below gauges. The website shows and says that there is a dial/needle face but it is actually only in the paid version. The gauges also include a demo mode which is cool. So what you see below is what I'm using...

2 wire Hall sensors use pwr for one lead and the other/s is used for ground/signal. They are usually packaged with 3 leads, pwr, gnd, gnd and they interrupt the ground so you need additional external hardware to use them, usually current sensing. So one could tie the 2 grounds together to make...

I have decided to combine the Hall_Effect setting, Dwell, Rev Limiter, and Starting retard all on 1 page for simplicity sake. I also wanted to show people what the difference in coding between typing in a number and using the number up/down buttons. Because I need to check and make sure that...

This is a better representation of selecting cells.

There is an old saying in computer programming "anything Microsoft makes, someone else also makes and makes it better". Now I use Microsoft's Visual Studio to write my programs. Why? well for 1 it's free and 2 that's what most others are using for general purpose programs and more. I started off...

Thanks. I have some corrections to do like remove the pre selected cells. I also think I'll do something like Steve asked for by adding a textbox that shows the value one wants to place in the selected cells to remove any confusion and makes it easier to read. Also the "timing.csv" file will...

I hear what your saying. I remember 2012 and all the different ideas but, I did not start that project. I also remember what Grompy said so, I will not let that happen here. I have learned from other projects I have done that sometimes you have to force people to accept and learn to use what...

The program doesn't know how many cylinders there are, it's the ignition circuit itself that limits the number of cylinders and RPM. Right now using the LS2 coil and my degree wheel with 2 magnets (2 pulses per rotation) the spark starts to weaken @11,500 RPM and gives up the ghost @15,000 RPM...

I could do that but, I would have to use a textbox. I would have to do a check to make sure the number can be converted into an integer. If it fails I would then need to tell the user of the mistake. For example "3.5" would fail because of the period also "1O" would fail because that's an 'O'...

Opinion Poll: Feedback needed. There is an inherent problem between programmers and users. Programmers have there idea of how things should be and users have theirs, so here's your chance at giving me some feedback. The screenshot below is of the table you could say that allows one to set the...

Just wanted to say that I'm still working on this ignition. Just that I've been busy with other stuff and working on the computer program for setting the advance tables. Once done it will be just a matter of clicking on the upload button. I've tried a few languages that I think will allow me to...

No I don't, sorry.:( I'm going to have setup my little GoPro and start recording everything just encase. :D When it flew off it took out the Hall-Effect, broke the motor loose, and then hit me square in the chest. It then went to my right and landed in a box with a plastic bag in it, spinning...

Well it was bound to happen. My degree wheel came off the motor yesterday at about 11k-12k rpm. Needless to say I'm going to have to come up with something better or stop at 6,000 rpm. The saga continues. Ray

Nope I checked for that and I can induce 60 Hz. hum with my hand if I want to. As soon as I take the scope probe off it stops. I moved the scope leads away from the high tension wire and it's better. Only sparks 2-3 times and stops. I need a little more work on it yet. Maybe a filtering inductor...

Ok time for some really bad news. My normal supplier here in Canada sent me an email saying that the 328p processor which is what the Uno, Nano, and others use is either drying up or is no longer available on the market. He only has what he has in stock until next year!!!! So I went to the...
