You'd only need 2 digital inputs to sense the pulses coming in, and then 3 digital outputs to deliver the sparks, a little code and you'd be done. They are easy to program and they are all open source with lots of support and examples online etc.

:O)
This is great! $30.00 sounds good, I'll research these controllers. THanks
