This brings up a good point that I have
been meaning to ask – esp. Tracy. I wired my CAS the EC2 as instructed, but I also wired one
of the leads in parallel with the hall sensor on my Rocky Mountain Engine
Monitor. Does anyone think that this will not work? I’m not
really sure how the hall sensor worked, but I figured the motion of the magnet
created a small voltage spike in the circ. I figured the spike would be
big enough to trigger 2 voltage sensors (one in the EC2 and one in the RMS
Monitor) at the same time without causing any problem. This will be one
of the things I look at if all does not work well at fist start, but does
anyone know for sure this will not work?
Thanks,
I bought 25 of these counters from Digi-Key and have a
little extra board so I can make up a few more of them, so if anybody else is
using the LS1 coils and needs to use a regular tach (Rusty?), let me know and
you can have one for the price of a beer if we ever meet in person (if it's
American beer, you'd better make it 2 beers :-).
Good to hear that you got it
working. I hope I won't have to take you up on your offer, though
the price seems right. The meatheads at VDO tell me that my tach
can't work with coil pulses, even though the instructions say it can,
so it's destined to be a 100 yard target for my AR-15. Perhaps
I'll send it back to VDO afterwards :-)
I hope to get a lot done today, and
tomorrow. The plan is to be completely finished, with the exception of
the final inspection (shooting for the 16th), and successful tuning/testing of
the engine. I should be able to run the engine again tomorrow, but
only for the purpose of checking the tiny tach. I'll hope that Tracy can
send the new firmware for the EC-2 by next weekend, so I can get serious about
tuning and testing.
