Re: How do Atom Computer Ignition modules work?

[legendre]

quote Phil B:

You could capture the waveforms using the audio in (“sound card”) port on a computer (suitably scaled and protected), and then play them back thru the audio output, using an amplifier to drive the coil / module.

That’s pretty much what I had in mind.. though I hadn’t considered trying to use a PC soundcard to do the capture.

I was thinking that a DSO would do the capture, which could then be exported and processed. But I can’t think of any obvious, overriding reason that a simple PC sound card (again – carefully padded-down / scaled / protected as you mention) couldn’t do the job.
