I've never looked at it on one of my oscilloscopes because it always works. I just run only the signal wire from the ignition directly to (I think) pin 8 on the nano. I do not attach the ground on the rpm wire when using an rcexl ignition kill switch (which is always) as I'd prevents the kill switch from working.

Im was assuming the signal is an +5v / 0V situation like the Trigger Hall but it seems to be A weak (low voltage/current?) signal. Should be signal to pin 8 and ground to ground correct...
