That's the beauty of open source. If someone else can find the bug before me that would be great.

I ran my engine quite a bit today. I loaded several different curves and it worked great. Then on the last flash the PIC started keeping the LED on for some reason. Still ran good with no transistor overheating. I thought I was getting close to figuring it out but I ran into some problems with my Hall connection and my processor socket giving poor connections.

What I do know is that the simulator isn't showing these problems, and on the test/programming board the LED output is not on. Only when it's in the circuit does it seem to give problems, and then only apparently with some curves or compiles of the firmware.

So, long story short, I'm still not sure what's going on. I had to rework the timer board a little, and the hall sensor mount on my engine, and my processor socket. I should have some more time to test tomorrow.

Whatever is going on is very strange and random. It's not a traditional bug in the software, but something screwy is going on and needs to be fixed somehow.

I know the continuous fire when sensor is activated bug exists since it happened to me that one time. I can't get that to repeat, but I've got a bug where the led stays on happening at the moment and I'm pretty sure the two are related.

In any case, it can't hide for long.
