2 Pin Cam Pos. Sensors

Hi, I've been trying to figure out how to setup this controller, however I noticed that my EJ20X has a 2 pin cam position sensor, instead of a three pin. It seems that this sensor is an inductive sensor, instead of a hall effect sensor, and was trying to see how I could set it up with this code.

From what I've gathered, to try and make my sensor work, I would have to take these analogue inputs into the arduino, set thresholds for them, and assign them as digital, effectively converting them into the three pin sensor.

Is this the correct way to do that, and if not is there a better/proper way to do this?

Update, what I've done to make this work is get a VR conditioner board that is typically used with the speeduino project, and use that. It converts the signals from analogue to digital, and lets this operate as it normally would.

For anyone that runs across this in the future, a logic level converter should also be used for most of the things as I saw the zener diodes not giving consistent results. The VR conditioner boards run at 5v, so it's not very complicated to convert that to a 3.3v digital signal.
