Re: DIY reluctor anolog to digital converter

Re: Abe's Miata to MegaSquirt Adapter Project

hope Im not hijacking here Abe (8inch)
but Im interested where you mentioned alternator control, is this the MZR (duratec) engine that is in the miata? and what exactly is the ECU controlling on
the alternator is it on/off or output voltage control via the field?
