1. A method for controlling an electronically actuated valve, comprising:
- receiving an ignition signal for a combustion engine;
filtering the ignition signal; and
generating a control pulse for controlling an electronically actuated valve based at least on the filtered ignition signal, wherein the electronically actuated valve controls the release of compressed gas;
wherein the ignition signal is from an ignition system of the combustion engine, and wherein the ignition system is repurposed from causing a spark plug to spark to control the electronically actuated valve.
