Throttle is connected. The voltage signal seems reasonable. I have it at about 2.5V right now.

The serial interface is connected (through a breadboard). I got the prompt "AC controller firmware. ver. 1.0" at 38400 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. It shows the config when you type in CONFIG.

I'll solder up the permanent cable later this week and document the pinout.
