[simpits-tech] RE: Simpits-tech Digest, Vol 5, Issue 23 - pedal force

[Marv De Beque]

The pedals use a high spring force to allow limited movement of around +/-
0.5" or so.  Takes about 100+ lbs. To move them full scale.

They use linear encoders to read the amount of movement in the pedal when
you stomp down on them.
