Any one successfully using knock detection?
As title, is anyone successfully using knock detection on megasquirt?
Considering it as its so difficult to hear whats going on when the engine is under load unless its on a rolling road.
Cheers,
David

Sure did... used the best knock detector known to man - the human ear!

A word of caution - it's really scary to hear the noises an engine makes, even if it's in good nick.

I have seen it, but heard mixed reports and wondered what peoples experiences were like on here.
Essentially a knock sensor is an amplifier which needs to be tuned/filtered to approx 6400hz.
This is the best link on the subject I have seen:

I like your idea David, I might give that a go.
