Hi, I have been trying to get an Arduino to fire a spark plug so that I can then move onto writing the code for my ignition system. I have actually been on this for sometime and because of my lack of electronics knowledge I feel I am up against a brick wall and I would really appreciate some kind advice.
I have read this article and I am trying to reproduce what has been done here.

Where I am struggling is understanding the circuit diagram I think because I cannot get my setup to work.
This is the wiring diagram I am trying to match.
This is the transistor I have.
Base, Emitter and Collector are not marked on the transistor but by doing some research I understood it to be as follows.
I have also annotated the wiring diagram from the website to how I understand it, which I accept is wrong but I don't know where.
I'm sorry for my lack of understanding, I would so much appreciate some help from someone with more knowledge than me.
I think I have given all the information here, if not please ask for what is missing.
Thanks, Daniel.

Hi Daniel, did you solve the problem somehow, did you make it work ? I am now in same position and looking for some advice about this circuit
