The controller box is the MegaSquirt EFI Hardware. The MegaSpark was originally designed & tested on v2. 2, but may work on other versions. The software was designed to yield a fully functioning advance controller with no modifications to the MegaSquirt Hardware (beyond the normal MegaSquirt tach input experimenting). Some options may require modi

fications or an additional daughter board. Please refer to the above link and for questions on purchasing and building the MegaSquirt hardware. The MegaSpark is designed to operate with *one and only one* input trigger per spark. This requirement can be satisfied in a variety of different ways. The input source can come from the distributor (required to be locked), crank, cam, flywheel. As with MegaSquirt, some experimenting maybe required depending on the sensor. A clean input signal is an absolute must with MegaSpark! The input trigger must occur at least 5 crank degrees before the total desired advance (for 8K RPM, increase to 8 crank degrees before for 12K RPM). Also, it must occur after the prior spark - this places a maximum on the degrees BTDC of the input trigger: For Odd-Fire: The "Static Timing" must be less than the shorter spark interval. For example, on a V-6 with 90 degree & 150 degree spark intervals, the input trigger must be closer than 90 crank degrees BTDC. Also, each trigger must occur at the same degrees BTDC for each spark, so the spacing of the triggers must match the odd interval spacing of the sparks. This means that engines that have an odd number of sparks per crank revolution, such as a 4-stroke 6 cylinder (3 sparks per rev), can not trigger off the crank. When mounting a sensor, it is suggested to position it for an input trigger ~45 crank degrees BTDC. This will allow up to 40 degrees total...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
