This uses a $40 Mini MO ARM processor from Mikroe
and a low cost 100 psi pressure sensor to recordthe pressure in all
three chambers of a Wankel rotary engine while it is turning over with
the starter. This gives a very good evaluation of any Wankel engine
condition. Replaces a device Mazda charges a lot of money for :)
A modified old spark plug can be used to make a pressure fitting.
I'll do a PC board and a kit of parts for this.
The screen shots say it all.
No more using your thumb on the spark plug hole :)

Looks promising to me. I'll check it against the Mazda tm tester I have....

What did you pay for that Marc ?
There is one on Ebay for $120 USD. It looks like RS232 so you will need
an RS232 to USB adapter.
