Dave,

I get it, stop attacking me! That module is $80! why not use a simple $1 transistor instead? That's exactly what I did. Using a $80 module as a pre-driver is simply not wise. But it will work, have at it if you like.

You are basically proposing what Bosch shows in Post #7 but using a $80 module in the place of the BCX58 transistor, just silly to do that. No?

You can do exactly the same idea you outlined with just 1 module and a much cheaper transistor. No?

It has less total components and cost than what you have been proposing!
Sorry you lack the engineering insight to understand this, as I've tried numerous
times to explain the design. Based on what's been presented, though, others here on
the forum can calculate the resistors values and design their own twin plug ignition
for just the cost of two modules and a few resistors.
