porter_jamie Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 You seem to know about PICs and stuff. What does it take to make an (programmable) electronic ignition module? what i want: inputs. 36-1 or 12-2 or whatever toothed wheel which works an inductive sensor which counts RPM, wasted spark is ok 0-5V throttle position Outputs switch to earth to collapse the coil at the correct time. Just one coil, one cylinder for now. tacho driver would be nice Software row of boxes like an excel sheet where i can type in how many degrees BTDC i want at 500 rpm intervals or whatever, and every 10% TPS if possible Is a PIC the best place to start, or what about a motorola 080 whatever? I have only met someone once who claimed it would be a piece of piss to do, and i believed it would be for him, which is why he is the director of a tech company somewhere. I can't do electrical, so could you point me in the right direction please? Is there some kind of idiots guide / starter kit you can buy? I can make a fancy billet case to put it in though. any input gratefully received, even if it is to give up now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
