    Darrel... i don't think it will be revealant to be 50% or not... it's all about pulse/miles after all.

    In the good ol' time we installed 2 magnetic sensor on the drive shaft as a VSS generator. using that... no way you could have a 50% duty cycle as the magnets where about 1 inch wide.

    I should take a car ride here and record the VSS signal to see how clean it is... in case some want to know.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHA i knew that one of my OLD cruise control installation manual would be handy one day or another... here's a quote of the revealant part...

    It was easier than I thought, just more of the same stuff.

    The knowledge and experience you guys have amaizes me !

    Woke up this morning and checked this thread and found a suggested schematic from Steve and revised code from Darrel ! - Thanks guys.

    I'll compile and burn the code to a 12F675 and send it to my mate for testing.. I'll report back on his findings in a couple of days

    I would just like to point out that in the event of your mate getting caught for speeding, Steve and Darrels contribution towards the speeding fine will be limited to the amount paid for the code and schematic

    I don't know if I could afford that Keith

    I think Steve's circuit will invert the output, so I'll need to reverse the pulse in the program to be able to use that.

    And you need an input circuit. I was thinking something like the circuit below might be nice. And, I'll need to make it use the GP0 input to determine what the Idle polarity is.

    I smell a Version 3.

    I tried something else, then realized it wouldn't work.
    What do you think about this one.

    Keith, I like where you're coming from

    Darrel, that looks good. I've already pointed my mate to this forum so he can keep up to speed to see what a stirling effort you guys are doing !

    Thanks guys !
