Since this is a budget controller, maybe it could be assumed that people are using budget throttles too? Ben's throttle was 3 wire! That's encouraging. I think the first version will require all 3 wires (since it's super easy that way to send 0 to 5v to the analog to digital converter on the micro-controller), and when the Thailand people get around to sending that stupid LM317, I'll change it to a 2 wire pot, since even cheap pots can just use 2 of the wires, like Ben was talking about. Thanks Ben!

I'm doing the wiring for a first test run. I'm not done yet. My son is sick and I have to get ready for class on monday! Dang it!
