Did not know that! Same thing on the 0.19.0? Have seen conflicting reports stating that it does work and others that it is like a switch. I have the temperature sensor so have never even tested the throttle on the open source firmware.
Would you mind looking at the Technical Data, 11:1?
1. Does it scale appropriately?
2. Are you seeing around 127 when giving half throttle?
3. Is it really sensitive and goes 0 to 255 with basically minimal input?
4. What is the maximum value on 11:0 when giving full throttle?
6. What is the resting value on 11:0, no throttle applied?
7. What is the resting value on 11:1, no throttle applied?
I could rewrite the throttle code. Expanding the range of operation and enable users to have finer throttle control if that is something desirable.
With the bike on a kick stand
1. Yes from 0 - 255
2. Yes
3. No, It is quite linear , with only a small movement required to leave zero at the bottom end and it reaches 255 with just a little movement left at the top end.
Wheel starts moving at 5 reaches maximum speed at about 30 with no further increase of speed all the way up to 255. As the physical movement between 5 and 30 is so small and difficult even on the kickstand to achieve this must be why when riding the bike it feels like an on off switch. Edit: to ensure the throttle was not cutting out at maximum wheel speed I did this test again with that set to maximum (62mph) and in 1st gear and had the same result of approximately 30.

You also asked me about Cadence on the BBS HD but since then Perryscope has replied and I could not add anything useful to his (or her) excellent answer. I also set my BBSHD up a couple of years ago and have never had to revisit the settings. The throttle works like a throttle though
Thank you for taking an interest but don't put yourself out too much over it. I tend to use the manual throttle in a sudden situation where it is not possible to pedal and just need it to keep the bike moving and it does that just as it is now except it can be too much help. For now though I will disable cadence mode as your other 3 modes are more than enough to play with and enjoy. If only someone would come up with a tougher plastic gear, the metal gear is too noisy but lasts forever and the blue gear is quiet but suddenly fails under too much load.
