missing Analog Throttle failsafe

Hello,

im user of VESC 4 and here is my setup.

im using ADC + UART

I use Analog Throttle (ADC1 , 3.3v, GND)

I use Bluetooth (5v, GND, TX , RX)

When i power VESC all is good, motor spinning, but when i remove Analog Throttle from VESC, motor rotate with FULL SPEED.

Is there any FAIL SAFE for that ? 

I want to STOP MOTOR if i remove Analog Throttle jack not to FULL SPEED.

you should add pullup resistor on the adc input to stop that happening.

A pull down is probably what you mean :-)

The resistor between ADC and GND should be enough. A value of e.g. 10k should work.
