Nifty R&D There :) I havent yet decided between a full glass (LCD/OLED) Dashboard for my Charger, or hacking Servo motors into the back of standard gauges.. and now youve just added another option ! :) PWM driving the gauges is a good idea, any jitteriness could be smoothed with a simple RC Filt...

Cool ! I just got a Samsung Galaxy S running Android ! (been waiting ages for an Australian Carrier to finally start carrying an Android 2.x device with nice specs) I Look forward to being able tinker/tune the Megajolt on it.. or at least monitor the gauges, custom user defined skins for the gauges ...

Glad to hear you got it running :) Killing an EDIS is pretty hard, but it can be done if you try feeding it reversed voltages I imagine.. Killing the MJ is a pain, but with the open circuit diagram and parts available from most places, or brent, fixing it shouldnt be too hard if you cna read a cct d...

Measuring the VR sensor voltage level is only an approximation, since its actually a variable shape and frequency wave, so the exact voltage will depend on how your multimeter (assuming its a digital meter) averages it out. Make sure you are reading on the AC (rather than DC) setting. but all you ar...

I agree it is the tooth edges that set the timing. I don't think the waveform description is correct, though: "maximum positive on the tooth, most negative in absence of a tooth". That would imply the voltage directly tracks the wheel height. Correct you are.. :) Well spotted, I stuffed t...

Cant see your mounting bracket clearly in those photos, but from what I can see it looks like it could be a bit flexy. Ive seen on the dyno how at certain RPMs and loads, what looks like a fairly solid piece of steel can start resonating and twanging about like a tuning fork.. You usually need to ge...

I believe its the *edges* of the tooth that the timing is reference too.. (not so) quick explanation follows If one looks at the output signal from a VR sensor on a scope, you will see it is a sine-wave shape, curving up and down smoothly.. The peak positive and negative voltage of the wave goes up ...

Read The Wiki Pages first.. :) http://autosportlabs.net/Megajolt_Lite_Jr. http://autosportlabs.net/MJLJ_V4_vehicle_installation_guide If you want to look at other peoples installations, then the "powered by" section here http://www.autosportlabs.org/viewforum.php?f=9 Then let us know if yo...

You statement of skills is a little ambiguous to give a definite answer, but very probably yes. Working on cars and good with computers sounds like a good start, but more specifically, you will need some medium level electrical, metal fabrication and software & serial communication skills.. To f...

I dont know how many people here would know what type of trigger wheel would be fitted to that engine as manufactured. If its a 36-1 (36 teeth, 1 missing) Wheel (as used on Ford EDIS igntion equipped engines), then yes. If its any other sort, No. If you dont know, hunt around for information on what...

Heres my first cut at a concept/tagline..

I can change that blue-ish graph to red to keep it to two colors if you like it.

You didnt mention which model EDIS you are using. I'm assuming here that a 1330 = some sort of Mini engine capacity variant and you are running an EDIS-4 ? If so, you also didnt mention that you have verified the EDIS has a good 12v power connection on pin 8 (on the installation guide). The EDIS is ...

I just had a look through your logs, but Im finding it difficult to tell where the problem actually occurred without a mark or accurate description of the time when it occurred. I cant see anywhere in the logs where it looked like you were cruising on a fairly constant ~3000rpm, It all looks to be u...

Well, the single board in my car has been humming along without a hiccup so far, and dealth with voltages from 10 to 15v. I have a diode followed up by an Electro Cap on the power input to stabilise things a bit and that seems to keep it happy

To get a clearer picture of the problem area, it would help to get an Oscilloscope or Auto "Tune-Scope" (if you can find a shop with one these days) with an experienced operator to have a look at the coil drive waveforms and the signal from the VR sensor. That should help narrow down if it...
