rev counter input?

[Tony C]

have tested the tach output in doors tonight with my rpm test meter and with resistor fitted,
am getting a reading on both p259 and i259,
but only the i259 with give a sort of reading on the rev counter i have sat here,
is using the sound gen a good way of setting up the tach channel?
or should i wait until its all back in the car???

may remove the autometer rev counter tomorrow and see if that gives a reading sat here in doors.

have the autometer rev counter working on the pc in doors with the vems and signalgen and I259 ch1,
I also used a different pull up resisitor (have a pack of 100 here), looks like the one i was using may be faulty :-(

going to lay it all loose in the car, (in the footwell) and see if it works when back in the car wednesday night hopefully,.

Well done there Tony   DO you mean an I259 channel was faulty or the pullup resistor was faulty?  If the former, remember that you only have 6 populated IGBTs, not 8 so 2 channels shouldn't do anything.

nah the resisitor was faulty mate 
going to go round and try it out later,
may also try the o/e dash revcounter if that works will ditch the autometer one and use the shift light off of it and let vems control it,

yipeeeeeeeeeeee
have the in dash O/E rev counter working off the vems,
have run the wires for the shift light tonight also.
