Abstract:
Brake controllers typically require a microprocessor or some complex digital circuitry to achieve a proportional brake control signal suitable to control electric brakes on a towed vehicle. These components can be difficult to manufacture and can be expensive. Therefore, a brake controller comprises a case, a positioning member held by the case, and an accelerometer attached to the positioning member, wherein the positioning member is moveable to position the accelerometer in an operable position
