Hi guys,
I'm relatively new to arduino, im have been looking and into several possibilities of the board. I'm not completely new to programming so that's a start.
I'll give you a bit of insight of why im looking for an arduino board for my project.
I have an mercedes with a m103 6cylinder, this engine needs 3 long trigger signals of around 60 degrees per rotation and separated by 60 degrees.
However due to converting to a manual gearbox im using another flywheel with a 60-2 trigger wheel, this means that 2 teeth are missing. In modern ecu's this is used for ignition timing. The current ecu only needs an rpm signal like the 3 long trigger signals.
I assume you should read at least 3 times the amount of teeth on the wheel per round to get a good reading?
Now the question:
Is it possible for an arduino board to read the 60-2 trigger signal at max. 7000rpm, determine the rpm and then make a fake 3 trigger signal?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and possibly reply!
