amen.   chris has been great

yeah, kudos for sticking his d*** out there to offer something like this and dealing with the hassles. 

i'm just surprised there isn't more on the web about ppl complaining about it, but then again, i can't search in Czech.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I just got an email citing this specific thread. They're watching us..... lol  [thumbsup]

I went back and edited my recent post. They corrected me that it is ch1 and 4 together and ch 2 and 3.

I must say, Im cautiously optimistic that this will pan-out to OK. It may take some time shipping back and forth, but they have been more communicative recently.

hopefully they get some idea that this isn't good press for them and step up to the plate and address the problems.

I hope things do work out.


My decision to purchase another Ignitech versus an one of the alternatives depends on it.

well i still want one of the units you have.  my dremel is itching to slice something.  i have a friend in mill valley who is a chip designer, he said he could hack it and copy the basic function in about a week, then make an ASIC for it, the packaging would be up to me... i might jus do it..

But if they can step up and make their own product right, they deserve a chance to do that. Until they tell me to piss-off, Im not going to reverse engineer their product.

Besides. It doesn't require any reverse engineering. a 2V ignition system is not that complicated.  I could make one of these myself if I felt like taking on that effort. I just dont. I should be able to pay a company to do it, and thats where Ignitech comes in.

I hear you, I just don't think you're going to get much.  Chris was a vendor of their product, no idea how many he sold for them, and look at his situ.  Seems they've had plenty of opportunity to behave...

+1

Brad explains enough about them here:

http://bikeboy.org/ducati2vignition.html

for anybody technical enough to build them to know what it is they need to build. That explanation, a scope, a running bike, and enough free time will let you design your own. I suspect though that you'll run into the same problems Ignitech have - theoretically it's an easy job. Getting it running in the garage or on the dyno wouldn't be too hard at all. Making it work reliably over time in the crazy environment of a motorcycle and its electrical system is a whole other ballgame...
