Hello guys, I am working on a project where i want to control motors using a RC remote instead of the wheel chair joystick provided as i want to control the motors remotely. However, there is no datasheet regarding the output of the joystick. Tests for output signal so far: Analog - Checked wit…

I guess I would use the "eyeball" test. What is the joystick lever connected to ? Potentiometers? How many wires coming from the joystick? Are you looking at the actual joystick mechanism? Or are you looking at wires coming out of a controller the joystick is connected to? Have you talked to a ser…

Thanks Paul for the response. The internal joystick connection is in the picture attached The number of wires coming from the joystick are 4. Red(assuming for power) Black(GND) Green (Signal?) Blue(Signal?) The joystick mechanism is not really of importance at the moment. I just need to know …

They make a board that you can bypass all of that, and use arduino, and the wheelchair batteries, with the motor. You can also use stanard rc controller with it, if you want. Sabertooth 2x32

i have a desire to do this as well. I've successfully used the sabertooth 2x32 on my jazzy w/ brushed motors. However I have a heavy duty invacare chair which has brushless motors rated to push around 400lbs and should be much more fun! however, brushless controllers cost way too much. I'd like to f…

I don't understand that either. How is it a tiny d-cell sized quadcopter motor can claim 30 amps and stall with my fingers? My wheelchair motors push me and someone else around, also use 30 amps. It takes 15 amps to drive a 1.5 horsepower treadmill motor, and you can't drive a treadmill on a 30 amp …
