Optical primary trigger page for MembersPage/EricN/Trigger

Planning on using 12-1 trigger wheel mounted in the distributer.

Trying an optical trigger now, followed instructions for Hall sensor on primary trigger as per manual. Seems to trigger properly.

Picked up an OPB804 optical switch. Built it into this little circuit that I found on the internet

Changed the 1k resister to 100ohm, voltage at led is 1.25v to gnd (normal for an infrared LED). Using pullup on vems

Optical trigger no better, pc signal generater the same, fuel relay cutting out at any rpm, worse at low.

Traced trigger signal right to pin 29 on atmega128, signal looks identical on scope when compare to signal at the wire, suspect problem is in config, want to start with a clean config.

I dont know how to interpret that but I can tell you the fuel pump relay cut out alot, I bet 10 times or more.
