Tach output question
Ho to all...
I need one info on the msns-e code...
When the ecu 'fire' the tacho out? at what engine angle? 0 (or 360) ?
Thanks!

At the same time as it receives (or decodes) a tach trigger, it is turned off 1ms (from memory) later.

Tach output question
I was thinking the tach input is an edge-triggered interrupt. If so, it would seem to be plenty of time to trigger.
What a great idea!

JamesJames, I haven't tried it yet - do you think that is enough of a pulse to trigger tach input on another MS? I'm thinking of using one MS running Extra for rotary ignition triggering another running MSII for hires fueling and AMC. I only have room for 2 injectors so they're rather large.
This scheme also gives me a bunch of outputs.

So, is maintained high for 1 ms, but at 8000 rpm, there is a tach every 1/8000 = 0,125ms, right?jsmcortina wrote:At the same time as it receives (or decodes) a tach trigger, it is turned off 1ms (from memory) later.

How it can maintain the tach high for 1 ms if for tach to tach there is 0,125ms?
Or my math is bad?
Thanks!

Tach output question
I suspect that the caps will need to be removed.
I wonder if I can test this with square wave generator at 2Khz?

No prob, masterx81, I'm glad you started this thread - though I apologize for the partial hijacking of it! Peter, I was more concerned about the effects of D1,D2, R12, C30 & C12 on that skinny 5v pulse. Due to the combined voltage drops of D1 & D2 and no obvious need for them in my proposed application, I'm probably going to jumper them right off the bat. I think the v3 instructions have you not installing all of the above but I don't have access to the board right now so am not sure. I'm just looking to make sure that the pulse will fire that opto reliably.

I would just drive the VR input. I suspect that would work fine.
