Paul would that be reversed for throttles that were 0k = no throttle, 5k or higher = full throttle? Would they experience moments of full throttle if the wiper in the pot floated too much?
Would it be possible to hook up one of these hall effect throttles instead to avoid the mechanical wear on such a crucial part.
EV Works Hall Effect Throttle Box 3-wire, 0-5 volt
The hall effect throttles have to have a 5v supply and i believe they output a 0v to 5v signal. Would this be possible?
