Question.
Why does he ( Mark B.) need the injector
pulses?
Unless he wants to have an automatic-best-performance
feature, a simple rpm reading from the crank will do fine.
a) Electronics will increase pitch when power is increased
to maintain rpm in C/S mode.
b) Pilot will change pitch in a variable pitch
mode.
AFAIU the problem is to find the exact endpoints of pitch
travel. How does knowing the injector pulse width help with that?
It will tell him how much power is produced in combination
with an rpm input, but does he also measure airspeed?
Not bitching, just trying to get the idea!!

pulseing ? Tracy ?
And how would Mark
Burton's constant speed controller react
if the EC2 was switched to injector
disable mode. Depending on how it
was wired, it might suddenly sense zero
power or 2X power. Just
thinking out loud.
Good point Dean.
If he only senses pulses to one injector, then it would have to be the
primary, which is always active, unless you turn it off via the disable
switch. He may not realize we have the ability to do that, so it
would be worth telling him about it.
