You guys are making me think otherwise now. Is there an easier way to do this? Can someone provide an...

My bike is a 1 cylinder, 4-stroke engine that fires the plug on every stroke (not every other like normal). As I understand it the circuit outputs 0.01 ua for every 1 RPM. 50ua = 5000 RPM. In my case...
