With a Baserunner or a regular Grinfineon controller, I am planning to set something up with two throttle choices. One would be a regular linear Hall effect throttle and the other a "cruise control" voltage divider throttle which is homemade using resistors, indented pots, etc. I am thinking that I can power them both all the time with 5 volts (from the controller) and use the same return/ground wire for both and then switch the signal wire, the one that would have 1 to 3 volts on it depending on throttle position, to the one I want to use with a simple mechanical switch on my handlebars. Here are some questions I have:
1) Should I also be switching the 5 volts? Is there any reason to do that?
2) Or, at the other extreme, what would happen if I just connected both throttles in parallel. When the T-lever throttle is in the off position, would the voltage divider throttle work? How would they compete/interact with each other to determine the voltage on the signal wire going to the controller (Baserunner or ordinary Grinfineon)?
Advice much appreciated!
