Driver Demand Editor: new tool for tuning DBW throttle mapping

[Acrosteve]

The 'Documentation' tab speaks to this a bit, so definitely read what's there. When I log for this app, I do a series of smooth throttle roll-ons in different gears and different RPM ranges to try to fill in as much of the driver demand pedal-vs-speed matrix as possible. Cruising at steady throttle for extended periods isn't beneficial for this app, and doing full WOT pulls as if you're on a dyno isn't particularly beneficial either, so you're aiming for something in between.

Thanks for this app Michael!
I've downloaded and installed everything and watched the video. Excellent btw. Gonna gather data tomorrow and came here to ask this same question you answered. My biggest hurdle will be configuring hp tuners to do the capture. Still a bit green lol

I'm picky about my drive-by-wire throttle mapping, as I find that a good [or bad] pedal curve can really make [or break] the driving experience - regardless of a car's total power level. I created a tool that allows me to fine-tune my pedal profile in a data-driven manner, and I achieved good results with it. I developed it primarily with my manual transmission Camaro, and I'd like to thank GHuggins for providing invaluable beta testing feedback with automatic transmission trucks as well.

Here's a video that demos the app:



And here's a guide that explains how to access the app via a free web server (with limitations), or by local installation on your own computer:

I hope others find it as useful as I have. I purposely disabled comments in the YouTube video, so please use this thread here for questions, bug reports, feature requests, and any other relevant discussions. Thanks,

Thank you for this contribution! I thought I had mine close until I used this. Driveability and Big HP together is where most of us want to get to and this tool is huge!

I just have to say again how brilliant this app is. I have used it on at least 10 different vehicles now. It really helps smooth out the DD table and paired with some cam angle changes and some timing changes it dramatically increases throttle response on the Gen V platform. Everyone used to ask how you increase throttle response. You?ll see 15 different solutions but this paired with Cam angles by far makes the best difference. Thank you again!

Always glad to hear folks are continuing to get value from this!

I just did a short log/tweak with this app and it made a tremendous difference. Before, almost unpleasant to drive...now like OEM. I had difficulty getting higher speeds/high throttle openings, but the lower areas made all the difference in street driving. LT1 with 300 additional HP made for a rough drive originally.

Thanks!
