First thing is boy am I glad I found this web site!! I have been reading sooooo much my head hurts, and thanks for all the good information.
Ok so I'm trying to design my own hall effect ignition system for my 6 cylinder Datsun engine. What I'm attempting is making 3 hall pickup circuits that will trigger 3 single fire dual lead coils, just like a motorcycle but for 6 cylinders. Trigger A will fire coil 1 for cylinders 1 & 6, trigger B will fire coil 2 for cylinders 2 & 5, and trigger C will fire coil 3 for cylinders 3 & 4. This would be considered a wasted spark ignition. The hall pickup units will be separated by 120 degrees in circumference, for 360 degrees total.
I have designed my own hall effect circuit, however I don't think it is correct. I could use some input.
Now I came across this post here on this forum: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/threads/modify-hall-sensor-and-coil-on-plug-pack.133159/
It seems like I can purchase the hall effect pickup unit that debe posted up information on, to do the job I want. All I would have to do is make my own distributor rotor with an iron vane to do the job. However the information in that post is about a single cylinder cop setup, using 1 hall trigger. The setup I am trying to do is for 3 triggers and 3 coils, and I am unsure if the siemens pickup units are capable of directly firing a standard motorcycle coil. If they are this would be great as I wouldn't have to make my own units, unless they are costly $$.
I know I can get a MSD ignition for the job, however I'm not willing to spend 400$+ for something I can learn to build for myself!!!
