First, thanks for the help on my steering controller, got it working beautifully!!
Now, I have a buggy that I need some assistance on the throttle control for when things get rough because of my disabilities. I took my Audiovox ccs100 apart and it has 3 air valves, 1 lets air out to the vacuum of the manifold to pull the diaphragm in and pull on the throttle cable, the other two let air in to relieve the vacuum on the diaphragm.
At present, the safeties in the system drop the vacuum if the RPMs vary too much, which defeats what I bought it for.
SO; what I want to do is control the valves to maintain a near constant RPM.
I could use a Pot to set the desired speed and I would like to have a PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control.
I will use the RPM signal for the tach as the input. My thoughts are to establish a voltage relative to the RPM to get an input voltage and use PWM to control the valves to let air out or in according to RPM.
Does any one have in suggestions on how to set this up?
Thanks
