Basic throttle settings

tip

Before you start, you should check what is:

Throttle​

Generic analog throttle input. The signal is normalized in ASC block: this converts the input signal from [mV] to normalized value 0-1. After it is shaped in CSC block (to add low pass filter or deadzones).

Configuration steps​

Setting throttle input​

The LYNX allows you to use different GPIO input pins for the throttle signal. This is done by setting the parameter /io/IN_acc to the GPIO ID of the throttle signal.

This is a list of most common GPIO pins:

/io/IN_acc valueInput name
8 - defaultGPIO0
9GPIO1
10GPIO2
11GPIO3
12GPIO4

Check the Input mapping for more information.

caution

Also it is recommended to configure the GPIO to the floating input (disable pull-up or pull-down resistor). This can be done by setting the /common/ioconfX parameter to 0. More about ioconf here

Setting throttle signal range​

tip

Check the getting started guide for the first steps with the LYNX: Getting started - throttle

For setting the throttle signal range, you can use the /acc/asc folder. The most important parameters are:

  • min - minimum value of the throttle signal
  • max - maximum value of the throttle signal

For setting the throttle deadzones, you can use the /acc/csc folder. By default, the 10% from the signal range is set as a deadzone. The deadzone is at low and high values of the throttle signal.

  • Check the ldz for the lower deadzone
  • Check the hdz for the higher deadzone
