ABSTRACT:
An electronic control pedal assembly includes a fixed support structure and a pedal arm. The pedal arm has a lower end carrying a pedal and is pivotable relative to the support structure. A potentiometer is at least partly carried by the fixed support and operable to generate an electric control signal that varies in magnitude in proportion to the extent of movement of the pedal arm relative to the fixed support structure. The potentiometer has at least one resistive track trimmed after assembly of the potentiometer to the fixed support so that the potentiometer provides a first fixed electric control signal at a idle position of the pedal arm and the potentiometer has at least one resistive track trimmed after assembly of the potentiometer to the fixed support so that the potentiometer provides a second fixed electric control signal at a full throttle position of the pedal arm.
