What went wrong At Sick Summer 2024 and MS3 real time clock install

Great video! Enjoyed the walkthrough of your system as I've not been in the scene for a long time. However, I do electronics, so here's a little help with the "pull-up" understanding. With logic circuits such as this (crank sensor sending signals to the microcontroller), the sensor sends information with voltage "high"(+voltage), or "low" (grounded). The difference between high and low needs to be distinguishable to the microcontroller (ie. +5v and 0v, and anywhere between may not be read properly). A "pull-up resistor" helps to stabilize the +voltage so the circuit understands this as a "high" versus grounding of the circuit to show a "low". If you don't use this in some circuits, the +voltage can be seen as "floating"(non determinative voltage level), and not very stabile, often confusing the microcontroller so it can't read correctly. Also, using two resistors may have reduced the +voltage to a level where the microcontroller couldn't determine a "high" or "low" as well, resulting in sort of the same situation as "floating". Basically, using the "pull-up" helps the microcontroller to read the signals correctly. Hope that helps!

Glad to see you are tracking all of the issues!!

I’ll give it to ya Clint, You’re getting closer to figuring it out. I would have given up years ago.

the easiest and cheapest way to do 36 to 1 wheel with either vr or hall sensor is buy the kit from the dub shop . he does heaps of megasquirt stuff

@@damon0099 the last I knew Mario only offered a VR sensor with his kit. His hidden degree wheel is cool.

[@damon0099]

@@ddk56vw you can use vr or hall sensor with it. I used a hall sensor with mine

Never use a air cooled pancake engine if you want reliable power. Water cooled not much better. Been there, done that folks. cylinders wobble, valves, pushrods......

@@davegeorge7094 ? I've been at this for over 25 years. I've always run air-cooled engines so I don't know what you are talking about. My problems were all electrical not mechanical 😎🤠.
