Pic Speed / Instruction Speed etc

Hi, Jamie

... having 3 pulses per turn and a 8500 rpm limit ... make me think of a somewhat "unusual" engine ...

could you tell me which engine it is ... may be I can be VERY interested in ...

suzuki v6, and i want to decode a crank trigger to run an aftermarket tacho.
it probably will never see 8500rpm, but i want to ensure the pic is stable at least to 7000rpm

I know this is an old post but I made a tach adapter using a PIC 16F1824. It basiclly takes a single cylinder engine signal (1 pulse /720 degrees) and multiplies it by 4 to use a 4 cylinder tach. Works real well if you are interested, I can send you the code. It can be adapted to other situations as well. I also designed a real stable interface to the coil if you don't have a crank trigger.
