Too bad.. I'm passing on the JBperf board @47,50 a piece.. that's a bit dear for a board with maybe 10 components of which
I have 9 in stock.
Just ordered a batch of samples from Maxim and will either spin up some boards myself, or just use a breakout board and
have an uglier solution.

Oh, I see, 40+shipping and 50+shipping for the power-supply version. I can understand your feelings on that. I guess your need is in the now, not in the future, right? Fair enough.

Peter used a breakout board successfully, it's not that bad and you don't have to shop carefully for the high power resistors ;-)

I'm putting together all the parts I need for the EFI + ignition side of things for my volvo to run on the m$2 I've built many summers ago.
My interest in a VR conditioner springs from the many people that have remarked that I should go with Hall sensors to avoid problems.
Since the VR sensor is OEM and fits as such, I have no intention to change it. That's why I'm preparing a better solution than the MS circuit.

Good choice. The MS circuit sucks. VR itself is absolutely fine. Hall isn't really better, nor worse, both can work fine.

Hi There

Just wondering if these boards are still available? I'm hoping to be able to use one to condition a VR VSS signal into a usable square wave.

Thanks

Not currently and I would not recommend holding your breath, sorry. Nab one from JBPerf, he's excellent.

Cool, thanks. I've seen that but was a bit put off by the price plus shipping to the UK. I was only looking at it to convert a signal for my speedometer but I might have a solution to convert to a hall sensor which would work out much cheaper.

Thanks anyhow.
