Vanagon – AFM optical

I’m testing this device. It’s the one on the right . The left hand AFM is what I’ve been using . Chinese made replacement board .

Only been a few days but has worked flawlessly . It replaces the carbon track board and the wiper with an optical sensor set up . More to come but I’ll say now it’s working perfectly. Smooth throttle response, prefect throttle tip in, no bucking on slow trailing throttle crawling .

    This can’t be Alistair’s – he would have come up with something much better looking, machined from billet aluminum with tiny embedded glass mirrors.

    Genius idea though!

      No it’s not my idea . Differs in that it’s well developed, made nicely, and it works 🙂
      Don’t know how it will progress. What’s the plan…
