Electronic throttle pedal

[greenamex2]

First 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?

A picture to help explain!

Can you describe the pedal output in more detail.

My guess is that you don't really want to have Throttle Pedal Sensor Main Digital Decode Type as Pulse Width, but really want Frequency as then the B output is the duty cycle (0-100%), not the fixed pulse width maximum of 5 ms.

Definitely PWM
