I think that the zener and the 1n4148 in the sensor schematics are useless. The transistor maximum Vbe is 0.8V so a 5.1V zener would never work! Also you already have a rectifying diode next to the coil, why do you need to place another(The 1n4148 one). I suggest to add a 220 ohm resistor on the base pin because the junction PN is a diode, whit very small current capability
Shouldn't the ground of the Schmitt Trigger be at 7? In the circuit diagram its given at 1. Secondly in the photograph of the circuit you are not using the Zener Diode,Why?
hello, I did everything like this,but my sign are full of noise and the output voltage is maximum 400mV to the arduino. The maximum voltage for the input circuit is 480mV between the two wires of the pick-up coil... I think it's supposed to be a sign of more or less 5v for arduino and a signal without noise and square wave...is correct? What can be wrong? Will be my pick up coil? I already have 12 turns on the spark plug.
For those with reset and intermittent problems, you may be attaching the Arduino to the bike frame a long distance from the spark coil. Noise capacitively coupled from the spark plug wire then has to travel those possibly long wires to the Arduino board before reaching ground. Noise may, depending on how you connect the sensor and Arduino, actually travel through the power line or a signal line rather than ground injecting noise into the CPU. My suggestion is to try connecting the sensor board ground to the chassis close to the sensor coil in addition to connecting the Arduino ground to the chassis close to the Arduino.

ReplyDeleteI see that zener as a overvoltage protection, as long as an dvs diode would work better, it cost 10 to 20 times more.

ReplyDeleteIn the circuit diagram its given at 1.

Yes ground is pin7. Corrected..
DeleteAnd in the actual circuit,you have also connected the pin 1 and 2 of schmitt trigger to ground,Can you please explain why?
DeleteIt's 1 and 3. All the inputs that not in use, shold be grounded. For better behavior.

Pin 9 connected display 7 segment
ReplyDeletepin 9 connected Shift Light LED's Driver red
can you please provide me all the specification of all the electrical components you have used in these circuits???
ReplyDeleteHello, do you know already all the electrical components he have used? Can someone help me with this? Please
