Hall effect ignition system

[dixieParticipant @dixie]

Can any one tell me where I can find information on installing electronic ignition in miniature i/c engines.Have found several web sites but they all seem to think every body understands electronic jargon. I’m surely not alone in this, village idiot  type speak please.

Have a look on this site Here they stock ignition systems and have full fitting instructions on a PDF file you can read.

Also this may help Here

Its really very simple with a hall effect sensor. You just need to fix the sensor and arrange for the small magnet to sweep accross its face. So that means the magnet can be glued into a small hole in say the flywheel boss or timing gear and the sensor to a non moving part of the engine. If you want to be able to advance & retard the timing then the sensor is best on an adjustable disc that can be rotated around the engine axis, Thats what I did on my hit & miss engine.

 

You then just run a earth from the engine to circuit board and a plug lead to the plug.

 

Here is another site with some set up instructions
