One idea I would like to see is a hardware and software shut down when the throttle is released. Most throttle pedals have a microswitch that operates when the throttle is released. It would be nice to connect this to the controller so that the micro knows when the throttle is released and also have this same switch disable the output drivers as well. Just extra safety, and should be fairly easy to do.
