I'm not an engine expert (rotary or piston) so please correct this if I'm wrong.
No mate they use 1080 in programming and can measure it with a 360 wheel on the crank



You may not know where each individual rotor face is but that is not an issue so far as knowing the actuall Wankel Cycle and when to trigger things.
