Hi All,
I posted a video on my S1GT setup. I wanted to show in this video where I think the timing should be and the cap dump working.
It is also using a crude reed switch setup to fire the circuit (waiting on ATS137 halls to arrive), where the rotor magnet closes the reed. It's actually firing at 23 degrees if you look at it, as the coil fires at about 0.5 degrees past the core piece - or 23 degrees from the reed switch.
The rotor is cruising at a nice 16RPM. In the time it took to upload the video (about 1.5 hours), the primary has dropped from 12.64v resting to 12.37v running and the charging batteries have gone from 38.55v resting to 40.3v running and jumping up to 42.3v when the cap dumps.
