Hi Everybody
After all of the fuss over the Toyota throttle problems the problem appears to have been in the driver's software - with the driver believing his foot is on the brake where it was actually on the throttle

I would like a panic button that tells the controller to cut current,
(my software could fail at some point!)

Should I do this by putting a switch in the throttle pot line?
Or is this a feature that should be added to the new board?
