anyone know if the rev counter signal on a super s is a pulsed signal or analog signal going from 0-5 volts?

im being lazy and cant be arsed to check myself haha

I'm gunna go with analog, Go test it

It connects to the coil (pulsed) You dont get analogue 0-5v rpm meters. RPM is to do with time, therefore always pulsed.

damn it anyone know how to get it into a analog 0-5 volt signal?

 

[Ed]

Using a freq to voltage converter. Its not a nice method however. Why do you want to do this?

i brought the innovate lm1 ed and instead of me buying the pricey rpm convertor or even the stupidly expensive auxbox i was trying to find a cheap why around them

getting round the auxbox is easy just need a mac 8 pin cable, cut one end off and wire it into 5v only signal wires

but the rpm is what i mainly want most of all, i was even thinking i could pick up a speedo of the signal wires behind the speedo but looking like im going to have to give in a by the rpm convertor
