Hey!

I finally ran my car with the DPR. Results are in my blog.

I was also experimenting with the Jazz throttle/brake control. Here is my understanding of how it works, based on how it responds.

When the trigger is moved anywhere above center, the Jazz tries to speed the motor to that level immediately. It does that for both positive AND negative acceleration, meaning that if you're running at 70% throttle, and you slow to 30%, the Jazz will apply brakes to get the car to 30% quickly. If you're on 70% throttle and you quickly release to 0%, it will brake very quickly as the trigger decreases, but once 0 is reached it lets the wheels run free. If you speed up again to 30% while it is coasting above 30%, it will brake to get you to 30% before applying power to maintain 30%.

Well this is very weird behaviour, but I guess one could get used to it. I'm going to pop a mail to Kontronik to question them about it and see if there's any way to disable that "feature" without a firmware upgrade.

Othello, would be cool if you could confirm the same behaviour and also mail Kontronik. :)
