A $5 LED stroboscope
If we building CDI's and TCI's, we need also a good strobe to see wat we are doing.

Is this sensitive enough to pick up the spark through a shielded spark lead like used in most model spark ignitions?

Hello, this scope is a good idea. Is a kit or at least the PCB available for purchase from you or someone? Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Richard

It will cost more then $5 if I make the pcb and send it to you from the Netherlands.
With this program http://www.baas.nl/layo1pcb/uk/downloads.htm and the files from my website you can make the pcb by yourself.
Other option, find somenone into the states who can / will make the pcb.

Select "reply" at the top of the posting. Then, at the bottom of the reply message in a set of boxes starting with "File" are two choices for sending images. Select one and follow the prompts.
By the way, have you made a PC board, and will you sell them? Please advise.
Good luck.
Regards,
Richard

Yes, maybe it's even to sensitive.
Changes R3 into 1k and R4 to 15M.
Don't use a coil but a simple crocodilclamp.

RE: A $5 LED stroboscope
I can probably make some boards for the stroboscope. Whenever I make a board, I always print out more positives than I need for my projects. How many should I make and for who?
