Before I tested on the bike I built a small simple pulse generator circuit around a 555 ic. I was able to get this up to about 350 kHz.
On the bike, being a 2 cylinder, I would get 2 pulses per revolution. The pulse generator therefore can give me an R.P.M. reading of up to about 10500 R.P.M.
With this pulse generator connected to the Panda II it gives me very stable readings with no false interrupts.
So, full of hope I went to connect it to the bike but needless to say I was quite dissapointed. Connected to the bike I got very unstable reading which indicates I’m getting lots of false interrupts.
Below is the output I get at a fairly stable idle of around 900 R.P.M.
Just look at the very first number for the R.P.M. I get. The second number incidentally is supposed to be the speed but with the rear wheel standing still it should be stable at 0 which is also not the case.
