Throttle Position Feed Forward Term

The feed forward term is used as the basis of the final throttle position calculation.

Since Throttle Position Error is essentially Throttle Position Setpoint minus the measured throttle position, changing the setpoint can immediately increase the error. So, the basis of the actual throttle position to be sent to the hardware takes changes to both of these values into account.

Note

Three error correction terms are added to this term when calculating the Throttle Position Demand sent to the hardware: Proportional Term + Integral Term + Derivative Term.
