R-Net PC Programmer OEM

[rover220]

Is version 6.0.2 the latest R-Net_OEM_Generic software?

6.1.0 is latest generic

[khodak]

I need a help. I have a programmer R-Net Dealer Generic and most of its functions do not work. I heard that the Dealer version is severely limited — OEM version is required to use all the features. Is it possible to force the programmer of Dealer version to work as OEM version? And can you help me get the latest software? I have now 6.0.2.

See pm.

Can anyone send me a link or tell me how to get the latest OEM 6.1.0? My OEM on hand is much older.

Thanks!

Where can I find the latest OEM software?

[jrodsings]

I was also wondering if anyone could share the OEM program or where to find it?

Hello, I have the r-net dongle for my Permobil m400, but I am looking for the OEM software for programming. Thank you and I appreciate any help!

Hi there I would like to wish you all Happy Holidays, and maybe someone is out there who could give me a late Christmas present, I am with a wheelchair hockey club, the Black Knights Dreieich in Germany and I need the OEM software badly. So if someone could help me I would be happy. Thanks

My chair has a 90A PM. I have the OEM programmer. And recently picked up a 120A PM. I intend to copy the 90A PM settings to my PC, and then upload them to the 120A PM after its fitted on my chair. Wish me luck.

[Burgerman]

Theres a few things you may need to change. But nothing major.

[Gnomatic]

That went ..... badly.

[Gnomatic]

I plugged in the programmer, launched the OEM software, and had it read from my chair before anything, and saved what it read to a file. Unplugged the PM90, plugged in the PM120 I got off eBay. Turned the chair on. Thinks were backwards, tilt was actually recline, lots of things like that. Not totally unexpected.

So, I had the software write to the controller from the settings I had saved. Once finished, all the seating functions worked as expected. Things were looking good. But then I noticed I seem to only have 1 speed profile, Profile 1, the slowest. Profiles 2,3,4, and 5 are MIA, regardless of how many times I hit the Profile button.

My buddy had to leave at that point, so I had him switch back to the PM90 on my chair. I turned it on, and as above, only slow Profile 1 is available. I had the software write to the controller from the data it originally read and saved at the outset. Still, only Profile 1 is available on the joystick to use.

I have some previous saves of my R-net settings, like from when I bumped up the motor voltage after installing my lithium pack. That all went fine. In a day or two I'll try to load that save onto the controller and hope that gets things back to normal.

Suggestions welcome.

that is strange - hopefully BM has an solution and reason it even happened that way in the first place

Can you adjust your ONLY profile it shows - just make that one the way you always use the chair - unless you need different ones for indoor use and outdoor

strange that it didnt write back the same way as it was saved - maybe some settings in the profile section of Rnet - -needs to be looked over better - might be missing something - sometimes its right in front of our eyes and we miss it -

look over the original settings on the PC - to see if you notice anything different from the settings that is not showing the profiles

so save the current settings which show no profiles - then compare them -

[steves1977uk]

Hmm, that's weird Gnomatic as I've copied saved R-net setups between a 90A PM & a 120A one without any issues although my chairs don't have tilt/recline/lift features. But that shouldn't matter though!

That's a good idea, expresso.

The seating functions all copied over perfectly! I thought those would cause issues if I were to have any. Go figure.

[steves1977uk]

Did you get any warnings about values being out of range? Although if you're copying from a lower powered PM to a higher one there shouldn't be any! The only thing I can suggest you try is creating a new stock settings file in the OEM software, write it to the 120A PM and then try loading your settings as this might work!

Write the same profile several times. Switch off the chair and restart it a couple of times, then write it again.

Should work fine. Although it might still be set to use 90A. Losing profiles i odd, dont get that...

[Gnomatic]

UPDATE: Problem Solved. The Profile button on my chair(which I bought used) is extremely hard to push - like its worn out. I hardly ever use it, just keep is set on Profile 5 the fastest. I had two able body try to get that button to press, they couldn't do it with their finger/thumbs. Today, out of frustration, I had my buddy take a screwdriver, without a bit on the end, shove it in to that profile button as hard as he could, and bam, it beeped and I was up to Profile 2. A few more shoves of the screwdriver and I was back in Profile 5.

So this is obviously a joystick issue, not a programming gone wrong issue. Time to order a new joystick .....

[Burgerman]

Just needs a clean. Take apart, clean with a cloth, and a scotchbright cloth on any copper traces. And good as new.

[Gnomatic]

Will do that. Still plan on grabbing a spare off eBay though.

[Burgerman]

You should.

Last night I almost crapped myself. A huge loud bang in the dark woke me up. Light still worked, laptop still worked. So not electrical. Baffled for 10 mins. No odd smells, no smoke. Then I looked at the chair next to my bed. Cheap stupid chinese brand new caster tyre. Split open. Tyre seal gunge all over...

These were a batch of 8 that came from amazon. They looked a bit nasty. Not rubbery but sort of plasticy. Well I just threw all 8 with cheap tubes into the bin. Fortunately, I bought 8 of these on eBay, and they seem exceptionally GOOD quality, and have no centre tread rib, so more solid. And they actually smell like tyres! Strong rubber smell.

I wish the chinese would stop making identical looking super low quality garbage. I bought the 8 replacements just because I suspected them. But it meant that this morning a matter of 20 mins and I had 2 brand new ones, and 2 new tubes all fitted and awaiting me to leave this bed.

The ones pictured ae not the better quality ones he shipped me. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-OF-4-X-T ... 2749.l2649
None left now.



I bought 4 tyres/tubes, and when I saw the quality I got another 4. I now have 6 left "in stock" so to speak, and 4 chairs with as new tyres...
I have spare drive tyres, and wheels already fitted, since tubeless. I have spare pilot plus and r-net controllers (3 full spare sets of 120A systems) , joysticks, a seating lift tilt module complete, bus cables, power modules, arm pads, upholstery, draws full of bolts, nuts, washers, plastic breakable parts, actuators, fuses, and bearings. You MUST do this, and also have at LEAST one ready to rock backup chair.

Caster tyres.
3.00 X 4.
I bought 8, a few days apart. Why? They were quality, last me months, in summer. And you MUST have spares.

[expresso]

if you have a house - you can do that and store everything - not everyone has either the room or the money to do that -

recently had my tires changed with rims etc, - and when taking apart the rim to remove old tire - the tube started to expand and stretch the tire - couldnt remove the tube anymore and it kept expanding - i guess the slime inside was expanding - in the end had to punch a hole in the tube before it exploded

is that what happened to you ?

i know better now to remove all the AIR first before attempting to take rim apart etc,

[flagman1776]

expresso, you must have the tool for removing the tire vale inserts. remove it, release all the air pressure. If only loose, it might have become blocked with slime. Sometime crap happens.

[Burgerman]

No the chair wasnt touched. Just sat next to my bed since xmas. And BANG! Great fun.

It was down to cheap low quality chinese tyre we fitted 7 days ago. 2 of them on front casters. They were not real rubber, plasticy and when it split open it shows no proper rayon or other belting internally. Some super cheap chinese guy is still laughing.

These also chinese but seem way better quality, so I got 8.

And these feel and smell of rubber as they should, and no centre groove. Thats where the failed one burst open.

[expresso]

yes i have that tool somewhere - this was the first time so didnt know better - also may not use slime on my tires any longer - unless they came already installed like they did with the bounder

i found the slime just clogs my vavle and makes it hard to install air - i change some other tubes i had on my first chair i used Air with and didnt add anything to them.

at the very least i wont add any to the front tires from now on - the rears i will think about it when it happens

i found the slime to work better with larger size tires - rears mostly - smaller ones just cause issues i think with refilling
