The Speed7 pedal features section on the BRD website mentions
programable "pedal electronics" that allows the throttle (and I
presume the brake?) range to be adjusted in some sense -- the example
they use is programming the throttle so that 90% of the throttle is
applied in the first portion of pressing the pedal. Of course, other
percentages also.

So...do I have this right... with this feature one could make the
throttle/brake range less sensitive near the limits, for finer
control? Can someone who has tried the pedals state whether that
feature actually works and how well? Likewise, does such a feature
exist in some form, software (or hardware for that matter) for any
other pedals?

I've got them -and I've not seen any way to do this

That last reply should have been in your other thread, sorry about that.

For some pics of our design look here:

Currently we are just working on the brake setup to get the "hard" feel in
the last bit of pedal movement and working on some wiring issues to reduce
interference that is causing some jitter in the control calibration.

Bungees and Squash balls OH MY!!!

Just Kidding, They look great.

Squash ball is being replaced with dense *** pad.

The Hyperstim brake pedal has a regular brake feel. When you
calibrate it, you can set the final amount of "travel read" to be as
hard as you want to stomp on it. It's resistance approaches infinity,
just like a real brake pedal. One of the best features of the pedals
IMHO.

I still say kittens are the way to go.

Have that on my LWFF too.
Did cost me appr. $1.5 :-)
Love it.
