Hello, Woody.
My name is Chris, a.k.a. Bubbernator, and I have a question or three...
I've perused the various threads on programming and programming leads. There's quite a bit of info there, particularly in threads that have evolved since 2012.
I'm attempting to make a cable to connect with and program my chair but I want to make sure I'm on the right path.
Basics: Quantum Q-Logic EX pod, part # CTLDC-1467 (3 pin XLR w/ two additional CANbus pins)
Quantum Controller, part # CLTDC-1466
I'm thinking that this is manufactured by Curtis Instruments.
Available software: Curtis Controls 1314-4401 OEM V3.12
As Quantum is a bastard child of Pride Mobility am I locked out by the manufacturer? I've read that Pride products are inaccessible but I also read an older thread about USB-CAN interfacing. Is that possible?
I fiddled around and built myself a plug (photo) that currently only has the two CAN pins wired up.
I've also found a reasonably priced USB-CAN adapter that seems capable of various protocols:
https://canable.io/I haven't bought it yet, just looking.
So, am I on a fool's errand (or as we say around here, a Snipe Hunt)? From what I've understood so far, the modified Kenwood cables work through the XLR pins on certain brand controllers (i.e. Curtiss-Wright) via TX and RX signals whereas the equipment I have can only be accessed via CAN (if at all)?
Thanks for any input or suggestions, even if it is that I should have bought R-Net.
