Analog Throttle/Brake -- ADC2 does NOT cut power to the throttle? What is wrong?

Hi everyone,



I'm using an Analog Throttle/Brake for an electric scooter that I am using VESC on. The problem is that -- ADC2 does NOT cut power to the throttle (ADC1 is hooked up to the signal wire of the throttle, ADC 2 is hooked up to the signal wire of the brake). If I hold BOTH the throttle and the brake, the motor still runs at full speed. What am I doing wrong? I did the calibration and have ADC1 voltage set to min 0.83v, max 3.3v, center voltage 2v. and ADC2 is set at 0.85v, 3.30v max.

The brake signal is definitely working as I have a brake light attached to it that turns on when i hold the analog brake. Why won't ADC2 cut the throttle from ADC1?

I'm using the control setting Current No Reverse Brake ADC2

Unfortunately on the vesc the brake/reverse mode doesn't function as a cutoff. Instead the commanded motor output is the brake value subtracted from the throttle value. So if you do full throttle and half brake, you will get half throttle.

Maybe when you hold both the throttle and brake, the throttle value is a little higher than the brake and the few amps you command from the motor is enough to spin the unloaded motor quite fast.
