    Rudi, twisting a knob is so 2010. Have you seen Bruno's new controllers with GPS for speed sensitive control? I thought that was kinda cool.
     

     
    Yeah Barry, seen those about 5 years after I  built mine.
    If did it again I’d go that route since my AOD has a VSS in it that sends the signal to the  controller.

     
    I would have more faith in the VSS.
    GPS… you have no control of at all.

    Most of the electric setups will fallback to a default or "limp" mode setting. For example, the Volvo elec power steering pump that a lot of the Crown Vic swap guys and others use will default to ~70% assist and a set flow with no speed input. Lots of folks drive like that too, but as you can imagine you'll be over-assisted at speed and under when going slow or stopped.

    The Bruno stuff stays on the same setting it was using when it lost signal.
    If going through a tunnel at 70, it'll stay at the same level of assist until it regains signal.
    If going into an underground carpark at 10 mph ....
