I keep reading that the Domino throttle's microswitch is meant to be wired into the brakes so that in the event of a failed potentiometer simply letting go of the throttle will cut power to the motor in the same way that squeezing the brakes does.
What I found though is that when you twist the throttle it actually closes the microswitch circuit, and the switch is open when the throttle is at rest. So in other words it would be cutting your motor when you're trying to throttle, and not cutting the motor when the throttle is at rest.
I'm just not understanding how that could be useful as a brake cutoff safety. I'm hoping I'm missing something because that would be a really cool feature, but I just can't see how this would be used to accomplish what people are claiming it's intended for.
