Summary of change:
'''Purpose of alien ignition logging:''' Being able to log the advance/dwell of a foreign ignition setup. By feeding an external ignition signal into the secondary trigger, the time at which the ignition coil is fired, relative to the syncronization signal from the primary trigger, is measured. Combining this time with the knowledge of current rpm, the advance can be obtained. Measuring the dwell is just a simple measurement of pulse length. An example (and better than here description!) of an ignition map reconstructed from a 20 minute datalog, can be seen on MembersPage/MichaelKristensen/MeasuringIgnitionAdvance ---- The alien ignition logging can also be used to evaluate if the coil, fired by GenBoard, is fired at the right time. '''Testing on the table''' Two simple hardware modifications are needed * A primary trigger, see OutputTrigger for how to generate a multitooth pattern * A wire has to be connected from an I259 output to the input of the secondary trigger. The firmware then is configured to ignite the "coil" on only that I259 output, and at the same time measure (with hardware capture) when the "coil" was fired. To test with a 60-2 trigger wheel, the following has to be configured '''config:''' <code> primary_trigger=01 secondary_trigger=08 tooth_wheel=3a trigger_tooth=01 another_trigger_tooth=1e ign_tdcdelay=78 # decimal 120=60 degrees ign_out=70 ignchmax=00 </code> '''tables:''' <code> h[2]=I259_4 (or whatever channel you like 0..7) </code> Finally start the stim, the command sequence is <code> Man mst51msp01msq33msp00 mlp06 mll </code> and execute 'mxa' (see engine_t in global.h). Evaluation of mxa is simple: engine.d13 must not differ by more than 1, engine.t1 and engine.t2 should have almost the same value and engine.t1 > engine.t2. Finally verify that engine.alien_ignadv = engine.ignadv/2. Remember that the order of bytes in ex. a uint32_t is reversed: 2F 01 00 00 corresponds to the value 0x012F.
