I moved this to the Gonzo thread so we don't hijack this important thread.

Yes, it's easy to add. Set up about a 1 sec counter or timer. Vector it to a routine that turns the wire to the coil off when it overflows or times out. Anytime the wire to the coil goes low, clear the timer. In normal operation it'll never turn it off
Here is the first version of it. The comments might be helpful because I wrote them in a way that would tell me two years later what I had done

The latest version of arduino tci is working great. Took it out for a couple of test rides... no hiccups or hesitation....ran flawlessly. Will leave it on the bike for the next month and watch for any issues. The current proto-board version eliminated some of the extra unnecessary circuitry and has some minor tweaks to the code. The arduino tci is a straight swap over from the original tci. Don't need to make any changes to pickup coils or wiring. My original tci is still bolted to the frame but disconnected (now a backup module) and the arduino tci is wrapped in an antistatic bag and stuffed in the tool cubby hole. I will start making a printed circuit board later this summer as long as the current design keeps working. I will likely make a handful of boards, but if there is any interest I will produce more. I promised a Beta tester already. Will post a video or two later.
JanYes Sir Congratulations
Sounds very promising. Depending on further development ..( if working ) price and so this is something I would be interested in
Hardware and Software
If you want money up front that can perhaps be possible I think..
Sorry, just now noticed this. It should work. You could swipe Pamco's output transistor, check its data sheet and look up info for biasing it appropriately. But I used that board because I took a class on it five or six years ago. It's outdated now, relatively hard to use, and also a bit of overkill. I'd probably look into Arduinos, which is what people tend to work with in general these days. I have two TCIs, two pickups, two rotors with magnets, and like how it works, personally. I have too many hobbies to get involved in it. That speeduino site looks very interesting if you could get in with themI have checked that evaluation board costs about $ 15
Question -How would that perform as a plug in board on an XS 650
putting it in a box. As an ignition system.
I have not read the specs.
But i am assuming ports and scaling and so already there
The code is on the way .
Wonder if that board with some Shielding and Electronics .. Can do it
Don't know if you've ever tried TinyCAD, but I found it very easy to learn... and it does pcb exports. Link.I am currently struggling with the kicad design software so that I can produce a pcb.
