Electronic throttle pedal
Posted: Mon Oct 23, 2017 2:45 amFirst of all...THIS IS AWESOME!!!!
Got mine up and running on a PWM sensor and have finally resolve a major issue with the car, namely having such a long (mid engined car) throttle cable that followed a less that ideal route (transverse mid engined car with a weird chassis) that the throttle body end needed such big springs to guarantee a return that the throttle pedal was so stuff it kept breaking. And I could not get full throttle consistently (or easily, without going to the gym!).
Would love to argue that one with the nay sayers that argue that mechanical throttle pedals are safer the electronic ones.
Anyway, one query. The firmware seems to have change from the original one that provided the functionality and there is now no obvious way of coping with different frequency PWM sensors. As a result, my 500Hz would require a "Throttle Pedal Sensor Main Scale" of around 220%, with the firmware doesn't seem to like. You can set it but when you save/reset it flags an error with the scale on the diagnostics.
I currently have got round it by setting it to 100% and changing the pedal translation table to force the pedal sensor to read 100% at a measure 45%.
Is there any other way of doing this without buying a new 266Hz sensor with a smaller measurement angle?
