Microcontroller - Automotive Timing Resolution Needed
How much precision in mS or uS does a micro-controller need to properly control timing +/- .5deg. I'm trying to use a micro to delay the charge time on my Toyota COP's. But, according to my scope I'm firing the coils (going low) late by about .02mS.

Simple math, really.
7,000 RPM is 117 revolutions per second, or put another way, 42,000° of crank rotation per second.
So one degree of crank rotation is 1/42000 of a second, or about 0.024 milliseconds.
Thus, your 0.02ms error is slightly less than one degree. That's pretty trivial.
