Default RE: New CDI - opensource project JMJ and Bigboat


I've started to build this cdi for using it at my converted saito FA80 four stroke engine.
In the excel sheet for setting the curve i noticed that the point of pick up is set at 40 degrees. Why is that a fixed value?
What is meant by the point of pick up? Is it the point were the magnet passes the hall sensor? So at 40 degrees means when the piston is at tdc the magnet is 40 degrees before the hallsensor?
