Thanks!
Seeing that you have been struggling for so long with it, I think that I will wait a little longer to begin mine.

I hope you have the right type of reed switch , there is the reed switch normally closed and reed switch normally open .

type 1 Reed switch normally closed , the magnet breaks the connection .
type 2 Reed switch normally open , the magnet make the connection .

Look into the specification sheet ...

You need normal closed one .

I hope this helps .

@jesus,
I know why you say that, but if you can get started, you might find you can do this.

@MK1
I am following the instructions from lasersaber, because his works. In fact, he has many versions which all work.
Here is why:
The moment the magnet from the rotor passes the reed switch, it will close it and then the battery will run, but then the magnet moves away and the coil stops producing a spike.
This will work with either type of reed switch as long as I am willing to start it.
Please remember, his thread terminally stalled when we could not find a 'n-c' reed switch a couple of years ago. Lasersaber restarted it with his instructions, and I am happy to try them.

@all,
I can get a little pulse going but not enough to take the rotor to the next position. This is starting from a quicker pulse, too.

Lidmotor made a couple of suggestions that I will try, and I will report.

thank you  ,

@jeanna

Try adding a few more magnets to shorten the distance between one pulse and the other.

Jeanna:

Yes, I agree with Jesus.  Your magnets might not be strong enough even though your coil is just fine.  Having less space between the mags is a great suggestion in my opinion.

Wishing you the best success.
