Start with the default value and adjust in small increments. Monitor vehicle behavior after each change before making further adjustments.
💡 Tuning Tips
1. Is throtmax > 0? (Most common issue!)
2. Is opmode showing 'RUN'?
3. Are pot values between potmin/potmax? Check 'pot' spot value
4. Did you press Enter after changing each param BEFORE hitting Save?
5. Is potmode correct for your pedal?
