I'm using mine to replace the ignition system on my motorcycle (1979 Honda CX500). The original system is a lovely piece of electrical engineering, but is prone to stator coil and capacitor failure (respectively, by heat and age). The Arduino will allow proper ignition timing to be maintained even as three of four timing coils fail.
- weaksauce 17y agoThat's pretty cool. Have you considered making the design open source?
- gamache 17y agoIt will absolutely be open source. I just need to complete it first. :)
- joel_feather 17y agoThat sounds like a bad idea to me. Arduino electronics are not designed to withstand vibrations, and they will go kapput very quickly.
- gamache 17y agoThe finished product will just use an AVR, not a whole Arduino.
