[PSUBS-MAILIST] Throttle control

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,
it looks like you twist the knob & it slides across & adjusts two pots.
If you are using two potentiometers then why not miniaturise things
& just buy a double gang pot!
Also, do you not want individual control on both thrusters so you can
have tractor steering? If it is for the vertical thrusters & they are vectored
you could get some lateral movement by using one thruster at a time.
Another way of doing it is to use a joy stick, then you can run the thrusters
together or individually & in reverse.
Apologies if I am not understanding the set up.

Once I have the desired rpm I can take my hand off the dial knob and it will keep that rpm.  I used 1/2" acme screw and little tabs to push the actuators.
