Hi.
Diagnostics checking if a spark plug gets its high voltage on a mower is very difficult under sunlight as a typical neon monitor lamp is not bright enough.
I would like to explore how to make it audible; a piezoelectric element 'beep' at every time it is supposed to fire. Half a second beep is plenty enough to tell the tale.
It would be nice in parallel to the spark plug, or in series to it.
The thousands of volts would have to be limited/divided to preserve the piezo element health, but that won't beeeeeep...
Alternative, a loud 'clack' at every time spark occurs. Loud or distinctive because there is noises from cranking by pulling the cord.
That, I think I can do it.
Well, shoot what methods would you try...
