Spirit 2/3 with Futaba BPS-1 Sensor

[ste]

Has anyone already been using a Spirit 2 or 3 with a Futaba BPS-1 RPM sensor?

The sensor detects the movement of the crankshaft; the motor's maximum RPM is 20,000.
Can a Spirit unit even process such RPM values?

Thank you alredy now for your feedback.

After searching the internet I've found the following:

The BPS-1 seems to have an operating voltage of 3.3V max, higher voltage might kill him.
Therefore the operating voltage must be reduced

• either add a voltage regulator between Spirit and sensor

• others talk about to use the Spirit satellite port to grab the supply voltage for the sensor, as there seems to be only 3.3V on the pins

BE CAREFUL: all this comes from various sources in the internet, nothing of this I've verified by myself, bit it might get an indication.

After all my reserach I decided to go to the original Spirit rpm sensor with magnets on the ventilator plate.....

Hello,

users reported this sensor was working, you can use side satellite connector for powering the sensor as it provides exactly 3.3V. So if you can make Y cable and feed sensor's signal still at the PIT pin it should be all correct.
