Here's my basic circuit Thanks for the links. However I will only be using the existing motorcycle coil to generate the spark and use the PIC to replace the 40 year old advance/retard unit. This is my basic circuit - using a power MOSFET to fire the coil and a Hall effect or inductor pickup...

I'm trying to replace an old points based motorcycle ignition by using Hall effect trigger and PICAXE18M2 to provide variable advance/retard intervals. I have tried "pulsein" and "pauseus" hoping to get intervals of about 0.12 milliseconds but the interpreted Basic on the chip seems to be way to...
