And I don't know whether the above is related to the fact pressing left goes right pressing right goes left pressing forward goes back pressing back goes forward. Everything is in reverse from what it should be.
For the programming error message, this is normal if you have a 'dealer level' dongle, as you are trying to load a file that has stuff changed in it that can't be changed by the dealer level software... However it will load if you say yes...
yes that's my fault. Somehow I've got the files mixed up and cannot find the original. If you can point me in the right direction I will fiddle with it until things are sorted.Burgerman wrote:I didnt change any of the seating settings. So they should be unchanged from what was there before.
So I am confused as to what you did.
All I did was take the two files above that you uploaded and set the DRIVING characteristics, and the motor compensation to match each motor type.
No seating options were changed. Likewise directon and forward and reverse, and brake voltages etc are all unchanged. It should work exactly as previously with only driving parameters altered.
Thats why I wanted YOUR 2 chairs profiles to modify rather than just sending you mine.
well I thought I had given you the original file, but the original file did not put everything back to how it was, so my mistake.wheelchairer wrote:So when I loaded Johns settings, the back rest worked as normal.

It alters many things you really dont want to change.
Set those things in the motor section.
See PM.
I had my settings so the wheelchair would stop as quick as possible. It would go from about 9 miles an hour to dead stop within 3 feet, with this wheelchair and your settings I would say the braking distance seems about 5 feet. I had the AMT motors, 1 of them which has just died. I 1st noticed the grinding of the gearbox was happening when I was breaking. Do you think having the braking distance sets so short may have contributed to the breaking down of the gearbox? If not causing the breakdown of the gearbox I would probably go back to that shorter braking distance.
Also these 8mph linix motors don't seem as fast as the AM T, is that what you would expect? Would it be okay to increase the speed by increasing the output voltage voltage from 24.5 to 25.5 volts, like I did with the AMT.
Most of the settings I find your settings perfectly good, but on the top speed it's a little bit too sensitive for me. If I get a bit of a waggle because of a bump, I don't have the hand stability to maintain the steering, so I think I will lessen the left and right sensitivity, just on the top speed.
And though I do like being able to do a wheelie, it just starts wheel flutter on the casters when the wheel lands back down. So unless I can sort out the we'll flutter, I think I will be forced to slow the acceleration.
I think you should think about motorrising the foot rest. You can bring the foot rest right back so the wheels cannot turn on the caster, and caster wheel becomes impeded, but it does give you a next inch or 2 when you are manoeuvring in tight spaces. Helps me greatly with my bladder.

By "braking distance" do you mean the actual braking (back stick braking) or do you mean forwards deceleration? And minimum forward acceleration?
You can set these to whatever you prefer. I like back stick braking to be rapid. And when I release the joystick to the centre position, for it to roll smoothly.
Remember these are from my 6mph chair. So it will require slightly different settings on your 8mph one. Esp on the turn speed. In fact it will mostly make it turn faster, and accelerate faster. (forward acceleration, and turn acceleration) So you could reduce these slightly.
sometimes when you're going in a restaurant and you need to do a left or right turn in a tight space, your casters ain't going to do a full rotation and you can pull your feet in to miss the door frame et cetera, and get round the corner when you are able to pull your feet so far back. I find it handy.I think you should think about motorrising the foot rest.
