Hello,
I am working on a project where we are developing a remotely operated vehicle which is powered by a Petrol IC Engine. The engine I am working with is a 23hp Vanguard Engine by Briggs&Stratton. I need to control this engine electrically, using some actuator similar to how it is done in a throttle-by-wire system in a vehicle. With regards to this, I have a few questions:
1. Where should the actuator be connected and how?
2. Should I use a linear actuator or rotary?
3. Is a throttle position sensor required? How to put a throttle position sensor on the engine?
I am attaching a video clip of the throttle lever actuation. Please suggest solutions for this or point to a resource where such a system was implemented.
