I apologize for my ignorance in the electronics field up front.
What I want to make is a switch that is triggered based on the TP(throttle position) sensor on my motorcycle. What I know is that the input is spec 4.5v-5.5v and tested I am getting 5.01v. The sensor has 3 leads which when tested for resistance give: (leads in order on sensor-1 2 3)
Throttle is closed
1+2=0.89k
2+3=5.01k
1+3=5.21k
Throttle is wide open
1+2=5.08k
2+3=0.81k
1+3=5.21k
Lead 3 seems to be the input(+) and I am not sure how the other two leads relate. The way the sensor and connector are set up I can't test it while in operation without stripping the wires. But I may do it anyway.
I want to turn a device on (which is connected directly to the ignition) when the throttle registers as wide open.
Thank you for any help, ideas, or suggestions!!
