I'm not sure if I posted about it, but I upgraded the ground wiring when I was in Asheville and this resolved the ADC noise issues and improved the RPM noise issues, but RPM noise issues still remain. I believe my input circuit sucks and will be upgrading that in various ways over the next few days.

Here is a video of the engine running and revving etc with some commentary too :

well, I think this is my first post, but i've probably spent a few hours lurking on here in the past year and a half, I have to honestly say this is the most awesome (although ambitious) project ive ever seen like this... Keep up the good work Fred, its awesome to see something running off this! I can't wait to see the progress that you'll have made in another year, who knows, maybe i'll etch/populate/assemble my own board by then. Good luck!
