trolling motor throttle hack job!!

[@hwaguo8383]

Two thumbs up...non over fancy design, just good and practical.. Thanks Brian.

❤ the Brilliance is in its simplicity... (polite golf clap)

Nice one, that's a great idea.

Wow! Have you thought about dual sticks? One for fwd, one for reverse, fighter jet style?

[@Pablo453]

I like the simplicity of the design. It looks like you made sure the contacts line up without arcing between positions. Excellent job on reverse without the typical rocker switch.

[@americanboathead5390]

Luckily the positive ones can arc without causing disaster so it was just a matter of getting the dang negative to be far enough away but still work.. kinda fun! Hopefully works long term ish lol

[@ZVIT33]

It's not a bad idea! But still, using a simple PWM controller is more optimal! Otherwise, there is no smooth transition in speed, but in jumps:(

[@ZVIT33]

Идея не плохая! Но Все же использовать простой ШИМ регулятор более оптимально! В ином другом случае нет плавного перехода по скорости, а скачками:(

The other option is some nice 3d printer throttles ;-) Did those work ok in the end? Happy to help with some programming etc if you want to use the motor driver and an Arduino?

[@americanboathead5390]

If only I had a friend with a 3d printer... hahaha I toasted one by hooking it up reversed but fixed it I think.. I'll dig them out and test! Stay tuned buddy!

[@americanboathead5390]

They did work but one died on the lake (the one I 'fixed' and I put emergency on/off/on switch. I felt like maybe they got hot
