Hi Duncan, I have tried to use this foot pedal as a engraver control pedal instead of the scooter pedal that is in the original design. I got it, and it works, but I have only like 1/5 of the power that I have with the original scooter pedal. Do you think that changing the potentiometer can help? And if so, then what should I be looking for?Thanks for help, Marcin
Hi Marcin, The scooter pedal is a hall effect so quite different from the potentiometer pedal. Use the wiring diagram for the m-gear pedal and see if that works better. If I remember there is a jumper cable which tells the controller what you have connected. Its on the diagram so just follow that.
Yes I think so a few people have suggested it. I've got a pressure sensitive resistor but haven't got around to trying it yet. It's not high on my list as I like the foot pedals ;-)

@@alastairduncan4702 Oh thank you!
@@alastairduncan4702 It works perfectly, thank you once more.! :)
@@marseal_armoury4547 my pleasure 🙂
thanks, i wouldnt have a clue what works
Could this foot pedal be replaced by a force sensor in the handpiece for a palm control of sorts?
