11 years ago Version 1.03 of spec has an EEPROM map. I think we should put certain configuration variables in EEPROM. Most of them have to do with throttle. I was going to take a crack at an alternate throttle object myself.
We can set the throttle minimum voltage. ANything below that can be read as a fault. Basically, if you use regen, you want max regen with minimum throttle. If you make it "off" then when driving, you get more regen as you back off on the pedal, but if you take your foot OFF the pedal entirely, the car shoots forward with the release of the regen. Not good. Same reason, minimum brake regen and max throttle regen should be identical.
You deal with idle a little differently. Only do regen down to some rpm above idle. As the car slows and regen falls, at some rpm it does cut out and idle kicks in if one is set.
I've been through a lot of these "feel" scenarios. Not as simple as it looks.
So basically qualify regen with RPM and below some RPM you just don't do regen. 700
Idle and creep are basically mutually exclusive. On an automatic transmission, idle will GIVE you creep. But on a stick or eGearDrive, creep can be a very good thing.

This is only sort of an issue not necessarily a bug since I did it on purpose during testing. The pedal commands nothing at the very top of pedal (while not being pushed). There is no regen, no forward torque, no anything. This will eventually be configurable as some vehicles will need standby torque for an automatic transmission and some people will want max regen from accelerator at the top of pedal. But, right now it does nothing. This issue will be closed once the proper behavior is implemented.
