Default Re: Talking through an ignition problem

Arduino is the combination of a fart and sneeze at the same time


Arduino is pretty easy. It’s open source and most things you’d ever want to do has already been done. But without knowing what we’re supposed to emulate it’s just speculation anyway, but do-able once we had the information. At least to a point of “1500 rpm steady” to be able to check for spark. However, it would still be an emulator with a very controlled output. Unlike a cart with a range of variables (engine rpm, voltage, temperature, ground resistance, output load (coil), etc.)

It could feasibly be designed to test function of an ignitor. But only “lab” or bench scenarios. Anyone in engineering knows lab vs real world are very different environments. But it could still serve purpose to test function….

I think it would be better to have a Chinese company knock off a real oem ignitor. They can do it with incredible quality and price would probably be about the same as oem but at least it could be available. But the challenging part would be selling them on the business case…
