February 12, 2008 - While rooting through the Coralba instructions last night, I got inspired to revisit my plan to use front wheel ABS sensors as triggers for road speed.
I've fired off a technical question to Coralba to see if they can answer me, and done a bit of testing on a Miata to see just how the wheel sensor behaves. The biggest potential problem I see is that the Coralba wants no more than 10 pulses per meter. That means about 18 teeth on the trigger wheel - and as you can see in this picture, I have a lot more than that to deal with. I could grind off every second tooth, or maybe two out of three. First, let's see if Coralba responds with any decent technical information.
The fallback position is to read off the speedometer. This will be affected by wheelspin of course, but it's a very simple installation.
