Logic-Level actuated, adjustable glow-plug driver  -  All of my turbine starts before the research on the ECU involved a very successful spark ignition. I thought (only briefly) of trying to add spark ignition to the ECU, but the mixture of delicate logic circuitry and perhaps 30, 000V simply don't mix. My past experience with the hall sensor ignition for the radial engine bears this out in painful detail. So I decided to go with a glow-plug driver. . . .  [designer's name not found on the website]
