Default PWM to analogue

Pass the signal through a SI diode, a small filter cap on the Cathode

inverter, comparator, gate etc....


This will give you a nice square wave for the duration of the
PWM for the ECM to get a proper reading..


If you can't your hands on a schmitt trigger inverter/gate, you could
always use the Trigger and Threshold inputs of a 555 timer. Those will
give you a hysteresis window of 1/3 Vcc supply..


Excellent, thanks. I'll give that a try.
