Yesterday I was able to get throttle functioning as on/off switch. Nothing happened in the middle of the throttle operating range but at full throttle it gave full throttle. Restarting the controller didn't result in high pedal lockout. Everything else seemed to work fine though.

How? Somehow I happened to reverse values for t-min-rc and t-max-rc. I saw raw throttle values changing but calculated throttle value didn't change until I floored the pedal. Took at least 30 minutes to figure out what the problem was.

Nothing bad happened as I've always set amp limit to 5 when beginning to program controller parameters. Flooring the throttle didn't result in much rpms that way. I could have used rpm limit too. Maybe I'll set that rpm limit next time.
