Yes. It's a chain of adapters, but it works fantastic. Phone---> usbc-usb---> usb-RS232---> RS-232 cable---> MS
Heat sinks: the only thing that really needs to be heat sinked is the igniter and it has double heat sinks in it. I felt of it after it shut off and they were warm, but no where near hot. Coils were not hot either.
This morning I'm leaning toward something to do with the hall sensor. I may tighten up the gap to the wheel a bit. Wonder if a 12v signal to the hall would be less susceptible to interference?
I didn't use a shielded cable from the hall to the MS, so that may be picking up some interference. But you'd think if that was the case it would backfire or act like it was mixing up cylinders.
nope, it's a piece of electronic test equipment. I have a few older ones...like, as old as me....and one that's slightly modern, from the 70s or 80s. The perfect tool for finding the cause of problems like that, you can watch the electric signals in real time.
You know, once upon a time back in the '80s, I had an old school style coil fail on me in the exact same manner that you describe. Worked when cold, once warmed up in a few miles it conked out.
When cooled off it worked again.
Food for thought?
Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.
Was gonna suggest a small computer fan ( some are 110v, some are 12v) blowing on your electrics.. But wrong settings will bite you every time..
(since you are in the middle of a heat wave)
I feex. It was literally running out of spark. Coils did not have enough time to charge. I started it up and ran it for quite a while. Then shut it off and started it several more times. Worked perfect. Winnar!!!
Don't listen to DB - he has stock in tire companies and is just trying to run his stock higher! (I'm guessing on that). Still, he has a point - you DO need to get after it a bit and what better excuse?
Made it quite a bit further this time. lol This time though, my phone was datalogging.
You can see rpm going crazy just before it dies, but I think that is more a function of the MS resetting and attempting to regain sync.
You can see several resets before "the big one". You can see these in the battery voltage log as the long slopes and the SecL resetting to zero and beginning to count to 255.
Now to just figure out why it is getting resets. A very common source is the use of a USB-serial adapter, but there are lots of causes.
