Hey,
I'm Kinda a newbie at electronics .. >.>" but i have been stuck on this circuit for sometime already..
Anyways , there were a few things i wanted to do with my circuit
1) Use a Function Generator instead of a 555 timer to run the Ignition coil/spark plug
2) Prevent the Fxn Generator from being damaged by isolating the function generator from the HV circuit.
This circuit was designed by someone else, and they built it and said it works, but when i follow their steps, it doesn't work. And i don't really understand the circuit that well.
It seems like he needs the op-amps because the current/voltage coming from the opto is too small, and he is using transistor as a switch to create the AC for the transformer.. but I don't know much about opto's so not really sure ..
Also, i'm actually using the 4N35 not 4N25 And there is +- 20V external supply to the op-amps. And the empty space is where the inductor coil goes..
Any help will be appreciated
