Project Description – CDI (Capacitive Discharge Ignition) is a part of Engine Ignition system for motorcycles or 2-wheeler and 3-wheeled vehicles CDI generates a pulse, which is an input to the High-tension coil, which then generates a spark to burn the air/fuel mixture Crankshaft

RPM and Engine temperature is the input for CDI

SMC (Starter Motor Controller) helps user to Turn ON motorcycle engine using a button. SMC controls and provides voltage supply for Motor, which is coupled to engine Crankshaft for short period to turn ON the engine

After 3seconds of time supply voltage for motor shall be disconnected
