#89712 - Sniffing spark
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you just want rpms - say for a shift light (what a wank! if you're hard at it, you're not looking at the dash for a shift light - besides you can hear/feel a motorbike engine - car engines are a different story) most after market stuff picks up off the ignition lead - you'll get a nice capacitively coupled pulse. This is a question for the others out there - with my little gokart engine which has a CDI ignition - I get loads a ringing in the coupled signal thus giving me wildly varying rpms. Not good. What's the trick in the input circuit for ignoring/filtering such ringing? It can't be too hard - just beyond my limited capacity! The input frequency is about 20 to 266hz (1200 to 16000rpm) - the pulse looks like the classic exponentially decaying ring.
