Paul,
What fires the ignition?
I looked at the M&W site and there are T1, t2, l1,and L2.
Joe Berki
Those are the Leading and Trailing coils.
Four total. One for each plug.
Simple.
Joe,
This is the conversation I had with M&W sales. I was unable to find
out how to trigger the system with or with out a computer.
Apparently I was talking to a non engineer.
I think it will work but you will have to buy one and experiment
with it to find out. A pulse is a pulse whether it comes from a
computer or a conditioned CAS.
They make some good stuff in Oz but the documentation sucks.
Maybe somebody else on here that speaks Oz can try :-)
I give up.

Wayne, are you an engineer or electronic technician or are you just
sales? Do you know what a CAS is? If not show this message to the
engineer.
Suppose I fired L1 and T1 with the same leading edge pulse from the
stock CAS (crank angel sensor) at 22 degrees BTDC and used another
CAS 180 degrees out to fire L2 and T2 would that work with the
rotary ignition _Pro-14R

What would I have to connect pin 5 to.
Paul
Please explain exactly what you need.
Wayne
so we would need 4 for a rotary. One for each coil. That does not
sound like the lowest cost solution.

Our single channel Pro-10R already has a reluctor interface built in
and we will be releasing an adjustable rev-limiter version of it
shortly.

Wayne
do you have a single channel system?
we find that a fixed 22 degrees BTDC works fine for us.
No variable advance.
We use a LM1815 conditioning IC The pdf is attached.
It works with a CAS set to 22 degrees BTDC

The multi channel systems are designed fro triggering from an ECU
not crank trigger.
Wayne
how do you get your ignition to work with a carburetor? Is is
sufficient to trigger pin 5 with a crank angles sensor?
If so what do I do with pins 25, 27, 28 and 29?

Paul,
I am using the single channel system, PRO-10R, with the reluctor
trigger input and a waste spark coil on the single rotor. Connected
an RX8 CAS and it worked just fine. Had it up to 7000 RPM yesterday.
I had to order it direct from M&W, because no US dealer does stock
it.
FWIW
Richard Sohn
Are you firing just one plug Richard or does that waste spark coil
fire 2 plugs? What did the single channel system cost?
Paul Lamar
Paul,
I am firing both plugs from the same coil. I paid about $500.
Richard Sohn
I assume that is a wasted spark type coil. Is that true. Do you have
a picture of it? That is a one rotor of course.
This picture shows two coils.
Paul Lamar
Paul,
in the picture is the initial system I used, until about two years ago,
when I got a Street Fire CDI and used the waste spark coil for the first
time. I could not use this CDI in the airplane because the starter power
would not turn the engine fast enough to overcome the minimum trigger
speed the Street Fire unit required. Than I talked to M&W after you
mentioned it a few weeks ago, and Wayne told me that his system does not
have that limitation. The M&W tech info states that the unit is not
sensitive to what kind of coil one wants to use.
I believe the coil I am using now is coming from some Saturn car with a
4Cyl engine. When I was looking for newer coils on the internet I could
not believe what is available. The coil I am using now I had for about
15years. In the picture is a brand new replacement I purchased recently.
I will have more pictures soon from the actual installation.
Richard Sohn
I think that is a wasted spark coil. Two sparks one activation pulse.
Normally with a conventional electric system it would have a dwell time.
When using it with a CD system there is no dwell time. It fires when
you tell it to fire.
Richard, do you have the M&W "installation guide" can you scan it and
send it to me?
