About the Arduino.....
At the HydrogenGarage is a video of Donna pulsing a Boyce PWM.
http://hydrogengarage.com/PWM3g/This is just to show that an Arduino can pulse the Boyce PWM.
Other than that Donna is showing using the XY of the scope the signal which appears to be aether type energy.
The Arduino comes in many different variations and I got the Mega. Doesn't matter which one really but check for PWM channels usually 6 and the Mega has 14 I think.
Willem known as TXQnl over at RWGresearch made up a opensource PulseFire program that looks promising.
Also at RWGresearch Russ has quite a bit on info on the Arduino and made a test rig.
http://open-source-energy.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=440&highlight=pulsefireHere is another site where Willem has posted info.
http://pulsefire.nongnu.org/Since I'm just starting out I have run into the first obstacle using the pulsefire software and that is the BootStrap has to be modified.
I found the modified bootstrap Willem posted and now you have to get a small programmer to change this BootStrap on the Arduino.
It appears the BootStrap will not reset with the PulseFire software so thats why he modified it, the program makes a reset of the BootStrap I guess.
A TinyAVR BootStrap loader programmer should take care of this update. It loads a modified BootLoader.
I sure would love to try this PulseFire program out, as it looks pretty nice and may have what we need to program various pulses.
Looks like with the program we could test the pulse out then write it to the arduino.
Or if we can program the Arduino to make the pulses and use potentiometers for duty/delay and frequency and use a 2 or 4 line display to change modes in operation.
The arduino has much more possibility later on when safety's and other control may arise, as there are many many options that can be incorporated.
