As a side note, anyone who has a Paragon 2 or stealth BLI steamer, and decides he wishes to use a Tsunami, will discover that the installed chuff sensor will not work with the TSU.  Reason: a reed switch pickup is located next to the flywheel,  which contains one magnet.  The number of output pulses per driver revolution is the same as the gear ratio, which, for example, is 24 in the NYC Dreyfuss. The Paragon 2 must have something like an input counter that divides by six.  I'm hoping to come up with a simple one-chip counter so the TSU will see four pulses/rev.
