Ok, thank you.

For my chair I would have to buy the RM550 (if it is damaged), right?

I can't use the r-net CJSM2 joysticks, correct?

Not unless you also swap the seating module and the power module. Then you could.

Its a better more modern easier to program and more choices, easy parts on eBay, etc.

And, where can I buy a complete spare sets of R-Net systems, seating, power and joystick modules, bus cables, etc?

Changing it would be no problem, just money, the programming to adapt it to my Invacare TDX SP would be a problem. I wouldn't even know where to start to program it so that it wouldn't be dangerous for the safety and stability of the wheelchair.

Sriously it would take me 15 mins to configure it with basic safe settings. Everything working properly.
Remember every chair is the same other than the motor settings. If we ignore seating for a minute.

Basic default settings + essentials:
correct brake voltage,
correct motor load compensation,
correct max Amps and boost time etc.
correct left/right and back forwards sense, and you are going!

Then set up seating one channel at a time. About 40 to 60 mins total.

And a year to fine tune till it was perfect. I still make small changes years later.

I don't know, I think I'm no ready for do that. And even more so with a wheelchair middle wheel driver Invacare TDX SP.

I have the impression that a middle wheel driver wheelchair is more dangerous or difficult to program than a rear driver. It looks like a less stable system.

I have been looking for spare parts for my modules and joystick controller and they don't seem to be sold used and new ones are worth a lot of money. I can't find a REM 550 controller, modules yes, used, about 60/100€. I think the r-net ones are easier to get into at a good price, they are more in demand, or I don't know how to search properly.

Thats because R-Net is used in more chairs and also still current.
The Dynamic system is now old, they were never as popular and now have a newer current but non compatible system that is also impossible to program properly...

Programming for mid/rear drive is very similar. For front drive also quite similar but also has a gyro and they never steer properly.

You should only need a joystick, a power module to test the basics with 1 bus cable.


Ok, after various difficulties, my injured hand and arm, I got help to get all the electronics out of the chair and onto the table.
This is all it has:

Can I power this electronics to find out what's wrong with it using a 24v 10A 240W LED strip power supply... or does it need another type of higher quality power supply?

I have an Invacare TDX SP1 and it's broken, and even if I get it fixed, I'm thinking of buying another one, because this chair is too big for me. I am an adult, but small in size, I weigh about 50kg. which chair do you recommend? maybe one for children? I doubt between choosing again MWD or try a RWD, the MWD is great for maneuvering, but outdoors I don't know if it will behave well, I have hardly been able to use it outdoors, always indoors...

Or instead of a motorized chair, maybe a some electric mobility accessory for my Quickie Neon 1 manual chair? I don't know how these solutions will work for me, but I think that since I weigh so little maybe an electric addition to my Neon 1 would be dangerous because of low stability.

Sorry, the above message didn't go here, I wanted to put it in "PINNED - Powerchairs Worthy of Consideration List!" If it can be moved, move it, plz. Thanks you.

Too bad it is sold in the United States and not in Europe. Shipping costs to Europe will be crazy, if you agree to ship something that bulky and heavy here. I would buy it without doubt.
