Hello I am from the automotive community and I am currently doing a project that requires me to use one gas pedal to control two engines. Attached is the schematic from the Accelerator pedal position sensor connector. Basically I will need the arduino to read the voltages from the Accelerator pedal outputs and then mirror that signal to each engine control unit. I used arduino for several projects back in high-school but I haven't done anything in quite a while so I am asking for help on the best way to tackle this problem.
The Arduino does not have an analog output , it’s PWM - you would need a filter to produce a steady DC voltage. You might find it simpler to use an op amp voltage follower off the pots to feed the second ecu ?
accelerator pedals typically have two pots - so the ecu can detect faults.
you may be able to physically connect two pedal assemblies to gether - I did , somewhere, see an example with two accelerator pedals mounted close together , which might be handy if one engine didn’t start ??
