Re: How do Atom Computer Ignition modules work?

First point , you have done a good job & you will get better with practice & it is a fiddly job to do. Next point is for reliability don’t use paper type electrolytics as in your picture, they will dry out & fail in a hot environment. Use Polyester MKT types as in the original pictures. I have used a small piece of flat aluminium for a heat sink, insulating the transistor from it. Make sure none of the wiring can short betwean each other, then seal it all with epoxy resin or I have used hot glue gun. This then makes it weather proof.
