...It would help if you mentioned the control system rather than the chair.... Invacare MK? or Dynamic?.M1 Roller wont talk to my Shark Emulator

Fair enough. .i would not like to take it (your controller woody) apart...way to much work went into it.
LROBBINS wrote:Yes, Woody's hack will work, but with some changes. The joystick in that handset is an inductive unit that has two outputs for each channel. My memory says that they go in the same direction just as shown in Woody's table - > 2.5 one one output is not < 2.5 on the other. The Dynamic software checks that they track each other so you will need two digipot outputs per channel (Woody can advise on how to do that). You will have to check which color wires correspond to +5, 0, steering 1, steering 2, throttle 1 and throttle 2 - Woody's table shows 2 blue wires and 2 yellow, but yours (and the one from my old ACU) have 6 differently-colored wires.

After the work was done, he changed his mind and said he would keep it, i was disappointed he had changed his mind....the Jazzys not even going, one motor is apparently blown and the batteries are long dead but what can you do right ?
This afternoon i get a text from him asking me how much i would like to PAY for it...with no offer to pay for the work i did on his 2 power chairs...grrr
Anyway, while that texting was going on. I did a short video of the new RC emulator driving about in my driveway.
When it finishes uploading this is the link to it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x7QHqm ... e=youtu.be
If anyone has any questions could they please post here so that the community may benefit (rather than the PM's please)
If anyone has the experience with making circuit boards could you please get in contact with me.
I would really appreciate someone drawing up the boards ready to go to a board house. I have run out of the stimulant that i have been using for 8 years (it was a banned supplement years ago but i stocked up) and working new information into my tiny head is increasingly difficult.
In return i would gladly purchase the boards and build/test one and post to you for your own use.
Cheers
Tony
