Default RE: CDI gr8flyer55

I am going out on a limb here and assuming that there is confusion on which schematic is best for this project. I will post a close up picture of a bare board, both sides, and an edited pre-existing schematic to use with the board. Planning for a busy season with fall/winter repairs and new projects, I will have some kits available shortly. First I must stock up on the parts. The inquiries are becoming an every day occurrence. I anticipate sending out quite a few kits and assembled units. As most of you know, I do repairs on ignitions. If after you build a kit and have a non-functioning unit, I will offer a troubleshoot/repair of your assembly, for a very minimum fee. Let's face it folks, I am not going to get rich doing this! I only offer this service to help out my fellow electronics enthusiasts.
My only problem in supplying the kit of parts is the sparkplug caps. There are many types and I can't have a supply of each type on hand. It gets costly to stock numerous caps that I will never sell.
That said, are any of you interested in a kit version after the final software version is released?
If so, I will start a name list for them. Jake is doing more than his share of the work in this project and I don't think he needs another responsibility right now. Jake mentioned the possibility of getting the timer boards done commercially. I am all in favor of this, since it would make my workload a lot less. As I see it now, one or two changes will be made to the timer board for extra wiring of switches etc. When that is accomplished, we can go ahead with producing a drawing in Eagle format and get them done!! I for one can't wait!

Pictures coming shortly of what we are doing with the project.

Many thanks to all who contribute to this project, past and present!!!
