Cool APE converter (Any - Pedal - ECU adapter box)

Judging interest in anyone wanting a small plug and play converter box to connect any electronic pedal to any GM ECU.

I built a functioning prototype that uses a GTO LS2 pedal to a green/blue PCM with the truck OS. Next, working on a Malibu to E38 ECU converter. Code can be modified for any pedal and any ecu pedal threshold/limits. It sets no OBD2 codes; limp mode is eliminated. I know someone in the past has said they can do this with modifying the internal code of a ECU but that idea was quickly dropped as it was not successful.

My prototype is working and simply connects between the pedal and the TACC or ECU harness depending on your config.


I will try to get a vid posted of it working this week.
Thoughts?

How is that? Legal or physical liability?

there are a ton of pedal commanders/adapter/etc. out there. Are you sure this is needed if you can just plug and play with 1 of those? They allow custom tailoring of the throttle input vs. pedal press and work extremely well from experience.

arduinos arent usually built to live in cars. lots can go wrong from hardware to firmware. just test it a lot i guess.
the few ive built for car use have a lot more protection components than typical boards like TVS diodes and such.

The 04-05 CTS-V guys might be interested if you can make a regular v6 cts pedal or 06/07 work on the 2004/5 V`s. The 04/05 pedal is long since discontinued and the only options left are finding a part out or sometimes you can find people to repair them.
