MD-Lambda-View cable pull sensor
A very simple solution for determining the throttle valve position or the position of the carburetor slide is to use the cable sensor specially developed for MD-Lambda-View. This is installed in place of the standard throttle cable. The cable sensor behaves like a conventional throttle cable. All commands to the throttle grip are transmitted to the throttle valve or carburetor as usual, except that a potentiometer continuously determines the current position via an integrated cable guide and transmits it to MD-Lambda-View.
Throttle position sensors
The MD-Lambda-View cable sensor or simply a potentiometer with at least 5kOhm resistance is best suited as a throttle position sensor. If it's also waterproof, everything's fine. Of course, you have to think about the mounting to the throttle body and the connection to the throttle shaft.
Another solution is to use a throttle position sensor from the automotive sector. These are also essentially simple potentiometers, but often have additional functionality. They usually have one or two mounting holes, a connector for watertight connection via standard vehicle connectors, and some even have an internal return spring. It's important to note the direction of rotation here.
