Thanks. Right got it removed with help from your info

and this is it:

All cleaned but still no life

I've looked at the PCB but can see now blown parts either.

You mention "Home brew software" Any chance of pointing me in the right direction for this please?

Thank you again

You must clean the oxidized metal that the rubber presses against with a scotch bright cloth or similar.

Don't think it's possible to make a serial cable since the original PGDT one has a custom made PCB inside the DB9 plug. An USB cable is the easiest option nowadays.

You can't do a standard serial cable to connect to the P&G stuff, as the protocols are different... The serial cable on a PC uses RS-232 which is (among other details) a two wire protocol, with separate TX and RX wires... The P&G stuff uses a single wire protocol with all the signals on one wire. The 'official' P&G programming cable had a custom board in it that did the protocol conversion.

This board was the subject of some reverse engineering effort, and Woody (among others) figured out that it was actually possible to produce the P&G signals directly with a properly modified USB-Serial cable - see the thread he referenced for details....

I have been a Lurker on here for a year or so, and finally bit the bullet and signed up!

I am building a modified chair like the BM3 but as Quicie F55 are like Rockin Horse Teeth, I have gone for a Kymco K-Active as my Base model - cheap too when new and still being made, chassis is almost identical to F55

Now I have several chairs all running on Penny & Giles controllers mostly VSI & VR2 which I would like to program.

Where can I get the Programming software preferably OEM version ???

I have got many FTDI & Chinese Serial to USB leads (from Arduino and model helicopter Gyros)

Many Thanks

Hello

I´m from Quito-Ecuador. My nephew has a power wheelchair with a PGVSI 4 key joystic. The wheelchair isn't working and the flash code doesn´t match with any in the PG documentation of Curtiss website. I think using the PC programmer tool can help me to fix it, In this forum I could find documentation for the interface cable but I couldn´t find information about how to get the software, can anyone help me?

Where can I get the PC Programming software preferably OEM version or can you help me with the userid and paswword in order to get it?

Best Regards
Rodrigo

How can the flash code not match ANY of these?

http://support.pgdt.com/Online-Diagnost ... -Code.aspx

Also check your messages.

EDIT.

Is it perhaps a calibration code flash sequence?

http://support.pgdt.com/Servicing-Instr ... stick.aspx

This may indicate that the joystick plug has become disconnected.

Hello

I would like to ask you how to get access to the program.
I have a P.G. Drive S90 Controller-mounted mobility scooter and I want to read the error code. (Can I read it?)
I read about making a cable, I think it would not be a problem to do it, but I have no software.

Thank you very much
(I apologize for my weak English knowledge.)

Hello
can anyone point me to programing software for a jazzy 1100, Pilot Controller D49637

thank you

by **KineticTech** » 20 Apr 2019, 02:22

Just an idea... I ran into something like that setting up an Invacare MK6 v2.2.2 software for a joystick. This software does install on a SD card with a Windows app (that does run on Windows 10) and allows you to insert the card into the joystick or their display add on and both save and load settings.

Tried the same thing with 8.3 filenames = no luck... and the Windows software would blue screen Windows 10! When I went back and looked at the format on the SD card I saw it was FAT32. Once I reformatted to FAT everything worked fine.

Just might give you something to noodle on and solve the mystery.

That PILOT is OLD ...and I don't believe that "we" can point you towards the software required for it.

You require the INDUSTRIAL software for the Solo.

Never tried it, but supposedly the software for Pilot+ is also SUPPOSED to work on the older Pilot 'all in one' controllers.... At least that's what the docs say... Even if it does work, no idea about what adjustments you might be able to do, as I've found some differences even in different vintages of Pilot+ controller...

Hi everybody,
for a 1off hobby project, I need to change the "Throttle Potentiometer Configuration" of a donated PG I-Drive controller (24V/70A) from „Wig-Wag“ to „Single-Ended+REV switch“ and safely adjust the max. FWD and REV speed settings to my actual hardware.
Soldering a suitable USB programming cable from the various valuable information in this forum should be no problem, but can someone pls. guide me to a functional download link for the "PG Mobility Service PC Programmer“ software?
Many thanks for your kind assistance ...
