I have a Vectrix bi-directional throttle that I'm going to test to see whether I can achieve the same performance as the separate throttle and regen I have on my Zero SR now.
Has anyone tried to add a Vectrix throttle to their Zero and if successful any specific aspects to take into account eg calibration etc.
I know the voltages provided by the Vectrix throttle and how to map that into the Sevcon controller throttle and footbrake functions so that part should be fine.
Thanks,
Dave
I research this idea but there are some problems. The Vectrix throttle/regen is nice there is a positive stop before the regen begins not sure if it is variable regen but I think that can be achieved. I'm not sure if there is a supply of the part since Vectrix is not around anymore. Also I'm not sure if the part fits where the current throttle fits and these are the things I can see from the surface. Plus all the interface dgh853 was talking about but I would be ready interested if follow this.
If I recall correctly the part is a potentiometer with a center tap and this is different then what Zero uses. There was a schematic of the part but I can't find it i think it was over on the visvoltage forum.
Good luck
