Re: [Electric Boats] Throttle lever potentiometer, any suggestions?

 

My solution is a Hall effect sensor - a small rare-earth magnet mounted on the lever, and the sensor embedded in the bulkhead, so that the transit of the lever varies the hall-effect resistance. No rubbing parts = 0 maintenance.

Hi!
Has anyone a suggestion for an affordable solution for a thottle lever potentiometer? I am open to diy solutions as well...
The motor inverter I will be using has speed controll with a potentiometer (0-5kohms I believe), and direction change is controlled by switching ground to forward or revers terminals on the inverter (sorry for the bad explanation). Preferably I would like throttle and direction change in one lever...
Regards
