Independent dual ignition with a long tooth?
Posted: Fri Dec 27, 2013 11:48 am
I want to use Dual Independent Ignition setup on my motorcycle. The motorcycle is a 180° parallel twin. I have two 180° opposed vr sensors with one long trigger tooth on the flywheel. I believe I need to trigger off the leading edge of the tooth since the long tooth gives a large error in the zero crossing. I have the v3 microsquirt controller. I have not found any useful information in the manual on how to deal with a long tooth. The manual mentions that it has an improved ignition circuit but I didn't find any details as to if it would be helpful dealing with a long tooth. I've read mentions of an "edge detection circuit" that can to be added to the input to compensate for a long tooth. Is such a circuit necessary with the V3 controller? I guess I'm asking is where do I go from here to get this to work? I cannot find enough information to figure out how to deal with a long tooth.
