Calling any car electronics guru,s on here?

[K.H]

Just wondered if we have any car electronics wizards on here that would be willing to help me out on a power steering electric project using a vehicle speed sensor
I have found some articles that probably explain if i can do what i want to do but its way above my head

[Rotary-Motion]

your thinking of using the vehicle speed senser, what part of it arnt you sure of?

And exactly what is it that you are trying to achieve?

besides electrical?

Always have a go. Who's gonna be the test driver?

You can buy these

which are quite commonly used, but the bad bit is that it can only be controlled by a rotary switch, the ecu on the EPAS is controlled by the vehicle speed (among other things?) so i want to know if it would be possible to control it by using one of these (example)

Or the builders whipping boy if it's iffy.

Now who is this builders whipping boy (sorry, whipping old boy), isn't it the guy that didn't turn up this morning, or if he did was caught playing on his phone at 11.50am.

But that's far less worrying than being test pilot of a van with no steering.

Ah but i happen to know that NONE of us have a phone signal where we are working, unless he was down the chip shop?

As long as he was asking about their oil we'll forgive him.
