John,

Will you consider reprogramming a Chuff Gen to potentially work with an EOB board? Or, if I can get my hands on a TAS tach reader, I can reverse engineer it unless you already have it figured out?

Well, I looked at a TAS tach reader, and while it could be done, an unknown is the sensor they used, it's not the same as what I use or what is on the MTH tach reader.

I also looked at my Chuff-Generator, that that seems like it would be a lot easier, at least for me.  It appears that EOB sensor takes the same thing 5V, ground, and outputs a TTL compatible tach pulse.  Since I already have a board design and parts that I know will work, I'd be looking to go that way.  I'd just have to make some code changes to make the C-G output the tach signal.

John, I have a TAS tach reader board I would be willing to mail it to you for inspection but I need it back.  I can also make close up photos of it for you if that would help.      J
