Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

1.0 WHAT IS THE JOUSE3?

The Jouse3 is the third generation of a modified joystick. It acts as an alternative pointing device

and control unit for computers, tablets, and other electronic devices. The mouthpiece and sip/puff

tube are attached to a joystick, which, in turn, is attached to an arm and desk mount. By deflecting

the joystick you can navigate the cursor on the screen. By sipping and/or puffing, you can make

selections from menus and drag objects from one place to another on the display screen. See

examples below:

• Sip for a right mouse click.

• Puff for a left mouse click.

• Double puff for a double left mouse click.

Figure 1-1: The Jouse3

The Jouse3 also provides other specialized features that can be enabled if desired, such as a dwell

cursor and the ability to control external switch-enabled devices. These features can be configured

according to an individual user’s preferences, or they can be turned off to prevent inadvertent

activation.

The Jouse3 consists of a high-quality mounting arm with a sturdy desk mount, a joystick with a

mouthpiece and sip/puff tube attached, a variable friction arm and a control unit, which houses all

the Jouse3 electronics. The unit is USB-based and requires no external power or installation of any

software and/or custom drivers on the host device. Simply connect the Jouse3 device to a computer

or tablet using the USB cable to activate it. The Jouse3 acts like a standard USB mouse to control

computers running Microsoft Windows, MacOS, Linux or Unix, tablets running Android OS, and

augmentative devices that support a USB mouse. By changing a DIP switch, the Jouse3 can also

act like a USB keyboard to control iOS devices such as the iPad and iPad Mini.

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

Note: Some tablets require a USB adapter.

Summary of Jouse3 features include:

• provides 100% compatible, full mouse emulation;

• Jouse3 has been fully tested for USB compatibility on Windows, MacOS, Linux,

Unix, Android, and iOS. It will work with any operating system that supports

USB-based devices;

• self-calibrating for center position at start-up;

• allows adjustment of the sip/puff sensitivity;

• provides a user-selectable dwell cursor for left, right and double-clicks with

adjustable delay from 1 second to 2.5 seconds (in four stages);

• timing parameters for sips and puffs in iOS mode are user-defined;

• provides two standard 1/8 inch connectors for switch inputs, which can be used

as alternatives to sip/puff input and provides the capability to turn sip and/or puff

inputs off completely; and,

• provides two standard 1/8 inch connectors for External Switch Control, which

can be used to control external switch-enabled devices.

In addition to the above features, Jouse3 provides a stable platform for computer access. Unlike

some systems, which must be physically attached to the operator, Jouse3 is mounted to the desktop.

The control unit is placed on the desktop near the Jouse3. Cables connect the control unit to the

computer and to the Jouse3. The person operating the Jouse3 has the freedom to come and go at

will. Alternatively, the Jouse3 can be mounted to a wheelchair using an optional Super Clamp

mount.

The mounting arm allows the joystick to be positioned exactly where it is needed and to be fixed

in place. The variable friction mounting arm is standard equipment with the Jouse3.

Note: The Jouse3 is not intended for use in critical control applications where failure might

cause physical injury or harm.

Note: Many different electronic devices can produce radio frequency (RF) interference

which could potentially cause the Jouse3 to operate incorrectly. Although the Jouse3

is fully CE certified and shielded to reduce the possibility of this occurring, devices

that produce RF energy, such as mobile phones, should be kept out of direct contact

with the Jouse3.

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

2.0 GETTING STARTED

Setting up the Jouse3 only takes a couple of minutes and requires no tools. There is no software to

install on the host device and no power supply is required. Simply clamp the mounting arm to an

appropriate surface, adjust settings as required, and plug in to activate. The following sections

describe these procedures in more detail.

2.1 Unpacking the Jouse3

Remove the Jouse3 components from the carton. These include:

• electronics unit;

• arm assembly; and,

• accessory pack which includes:

• USB cable;

• bag of assorted puff tubes;

• spare air filter assembly; and,

• two spare air tube fittings.

The Jouse3 arm is folded over on itself. To unfold it, loosen the large knob on the side of the arm

and lift up on the upper part of the arm until it’s approximately 90 degrees. Tighten the large knob

to make the arm rigid.

Remove the plastic that is covering the joystick assembly. This is attached with a warning tag.

To protect during shipping, the air filter assembly has been disconnected from the joystick module.

Reconnect the air filter by screwing it onto the white connector on the bottom of the joystick

module.

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

2.2 Attach the Jouse3 Arm to Your Desktop

There is a desk clamp at the bottom of the Jouse3 arm. Place this over the edge of the work surface

as seen in Figure 2-1. Tighten the clamp by turning the swivel screw clockwise.

Optionally, the Jouse3 can be ordered with a Super Clamp base instead of the desk mount. When

equipped with a super clamp, the Jouse 3 can be attached to a desk or a the frame of a wheelchair.

Figure 2-1: Jouse3 Desk Mount

2.3 Adjust the Jouse3 Arm

Adjust the arm to position it correctly for the person using it by doing the following:

1. Loosen the knob on the side of the arm by turning counter-clockwise. This

loosens all three joints of the arm at once.

2. Position the joystick, mouthpiece and sip/puff tube in a position that allows

the user to move their lips slightly to enclose the puff tube.

3. When correctly positioned, tighten the knob by turning it clockwise.

4. Optionally, there is a six-inch extension arm available to optimally position

the puff tube for the user. Information about adding an extension is provided

in Appendix B - ADDING AN EXTENSION TO THE JOYSTICK

MOUNTING ARM.

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

2.4 Insert the Puff Tube into the Mouthpiece

There are two styles of puff tubes included with the Jouse3, white disposable puff tubes and black

cigarette style puff tubes, as shown in Figure 2-3. There are two lengths of each style. The choice

of mouthpiece is dependent on the user’s preference. The longer puff tubes give more leverage,

which reduces the amount of force required to move the joystick. On the other hand, the shorter

puff tubes allows the cursor to be moved with a smaller head movement.

Screw in one of the cigarette style threaded puff tubes or insert one of the disposable puff tubes into

the end of the mouthpiece of the Jouse3. If the puff tube does not fit tightly into the mouthpiece,

discard it and replace it with a new one.

2.5 Connecting the Cables

There are two cables that must be connected on the Jouse3. One cable connects between the

joystick/mouthpiece and the Jouse3 control unit and the second cable, the USB cable, connects

between the Jouse3 and the host device.

Note: There is no ON/OFF switch on the Jouse3. It receives its power from the USB cable

when this cable is plugged into the host device. Connecting this cable activates the

Jouse3.

Both cables connect to the back of the Jouse3 control unit. These connections are labelled as shown

in Figure 2-4

Figure 2-4: Jouse3 Connector Endplate

1. Connect the beige cable from the joystick to the connector labelled Joystick.

2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the host device and connect the other

end to the connector labelled USB.

When making the cable connections, a number of points should be noted.

1. When the USB cable connection is made, the Jouse3 unit will turn on

because it receives its power from the USB port on the host device. At this

time, the two indicator LEDs on the front of the control unit will flash in

sequence with a combination of tones (see Section 6.1). The Jouse3 is then

enumerating with the host device. If both LEDs turn off, the Jouse3 is ready

to use.

2. Before connecting the Jouse3 controller to the host device via the USB cable,

ensure that the joystick is not deflected away from the center position. The

joystick should not be moved at this time and the cable should not be

deflecting the joystick. The Jouse3 will calibrate itself based on the position

of the joystick when it enumerates. If the joystick is NOT in the center

position, the unit may not operate properly.

3. After connecting the cables, you may want to anchor them to the swing-away

arm so they are out of the way. Adjust the velcro straps that are on the Jouse3

arm to do so. Ensure that the cables have enough “play”, so that the Jouse3

mounting arm can be adjusted into any position without straining the cables.

The cables should be neatly strapped to the arm, but not pulled tight.

Straining the cables may damage them.

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

3.0 CONFIGURING THE JOUSE3

The Jouse3 uses a bank of DIP switches to enable or disable certain features, as well as configure

parameters for different modes. The unit ships with all the switches in the down position. In this

configuration, the Jouse3 enumerates as a standard USB mouse and the switch inputs and outputs

are all enabled. Changing the position of these switches allows the user to:

• activate iOS mode;

• disable external switches;

• enable and configure dwell cursor mode;

• disable the sip input; and,

• disable the puff input.

These switches are shown in Figure 3-1. Details on configuring these switches is outlined in

Section 3.1.

Note: These switches are only read by the Jouse3 on enumeration. Changes to the DIP

switches will not take effect until the unit is powered off and back on again by

disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable.

The Jouse3 also provides the ability to change the following operating parameters without having

to restart:

•Sip/puff sensitivity (SEN) - the amount of air pressure required to activate a sip

or puff (located on the front of the Control Unit).

•Speed (SPD) - length of time required between sips and puffs while in iOS mode

(located on the front of the Control Unit).

•Volume (VOL) - sound level of audible tones (located on the back of the Control

Unit).

These parameters are changed using three small potentiometers that can be accessed on the front

and back of the Jouse3 control unit. Changes made to these parameters are recognized immediately.

These potentiometers are shown in Figure 3-3. See Section 3.2 for more information on their

operation.

3.1 DIP Switch Configuration

The bank of eight DIP switches is found on the back of the Jouse3 next to the USB connector, as

shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2. These switches control the configuration and features of the

Jouse3. When the unit is connected to the host device, the position of these switches is read and the

unit is configured accordingly.

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

Figure 3-1: Jouse3 DIP Switches

The position of the switch can be adjusted using a small jeweller’s screwdriver or with the tip of a

pen. There is an ON indication on the DIP switch, but to avoid confusion we will describe the

position of the DIP as either UP or DOWN.

Figure 3-2: DIP Switch Positions

3.1.1 DIP Switch Control Modes

DIP switch control modes are described below. Note that some DIP switches have different

functions depending on which mode is chosen, i.e., Normal or iOS. Enable changes by

disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable from the Jouse3 Control Unit. Changes in DIP

switch settings are only recognized upon enumeration/start-up.

DIP Switch 1: Enables iOS mode

The first DIP switch (left-most) numbered 1, selects between one of two basic features, either iOS

Mode or Normal Mode. Leaving this switch in the OFF (down) position selects Normal Mode.

Setting the switch to the ON (up) position selects iOS Mode. For more information on iOS Mode,

DIP Switch 2: Enables External Switch Outputs Control

DIP switch 2 allows you to control switch-enabled devices via the Output jacks.

DIP 2 = ON (up): Output switches disabled

DIP 2 = OFF (down): Output switches enabled

DIP Switch 3 and 4: Dwell Cursor Mode

In Normal Mode, as an alternative to sip or puff input, a dwell cursor can be used. Once the Jouse3

(mouse) cursor is positioned over an on-screen item, leaving the cursor unmoved for the selected

delay time (see below) will cause the selected mouse click(s) to be activated without having to sip

or puff. In iOS Mode, switch 3 and 4 have no function.

DIP 3 = OFF (down), DIP 4 OFF (down): Dwell Cursor Mode disabled. This is the default.

DIP 3 = OFF (down), DIP 4 ON (up): Dwell Cursor Mode enabled - Left-Click.

DIP 3 = ON (up), DIP 4 OFF (down): Dwell Cursor Mode enabled - Right-Click

DIP 3 = ON (up), DIP 4 ON (up): Dwell Cursor Mode enabled - Double-Click

DIP Switch 5 and 6: Dwell Time

In Normal Mode, once the action that will result from dwell cursor (left-click, right-click, etc.) has

been specified, an appropriate dwell cursor delay time must be specified. This parameter specifies

how long the mouse cursor must be stationary before the selected dwell cursor action will occur.

In iOS Mode, switch 5 and 6 have no function.

DIP 5 = OFF (down), DIP 6 OFF (down): Dwell Time - 1 second

DIP 5 = OFF (down), DIP 6 ON (up): Dwell Time - 1.5 seconds

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

DIP 5 = ON (up), DIP 6 OFF (down): Dwell Time - 2 seconds

DIP 5 = ON (up), DIP 6 ON (up): Dwell Time - 2.5 seconds

DIP Switch 7 and 8: Input Button Control

DIP switches 7 and 8 can be used to disable the sip and/or puff capability of the Jouse3. This is

often used in conjunction with external switches connected to the switch inputs on the front panel

of the Jouse3, which can be used to provide an alternative to sip/puff inputs.

DIP 7 = OFF (down), DIP 8 OFF (down): Sip enabled, Puff enabled. This is the default.

3.1.1.1 iOS Mode

DIP switch 1 enables iOS mode when it’s in the ON (up) position. Once enabled, follow the steps

below before connecting the Jouse3 USB cable to the iOS USB Camera Adapter. Depending on

the model of the iPad being used, you will either need the 30-pin or Lightning USB Camera

Adapter.

1. From your iOS device’s menu, select Settings > General > Accessibility >

Enable VoiceOver.

2. Connect the Jouse3 USB cable to the iOS USB Camera Adapter.

3. You will see a message displayed on the iOS device indicating the Jouse3

HID Alternative Mouse/ Keyboard Controller connected is not supported.

Acknowledge this alert. This is normal behavior and once acknowledged it

can be ignored.

Note: Only iOS devices with VoiceOver are supported. Drag mode frequently referred to in

sections describing the Data and Drag LED lights is not supported in iOS mode.

3.1.1.2 Configuring iOS7 Switch Control Mode

To configure an iOS device for Switch Control mode, you will need a device running iOS7 and the

appropriate USB Camera Adapter for that device.

Perform the following steps to configure Switch Control mode for use with the Jouse3:

1. On the iPad, choose Settings > Accessibility > Switch Control> Switches >

Add New Switch > External (Source).

Jouse3 - User’s Guide

Revision 2.0 Document No. 01235-008

2. Plug the Lightning port to USB Camera adapter into the device and then plug

the Jouse3 into the USB port of the adapter.

3. Ignore the pop-up message indicating that the device is not supported. Select

OK to acknowledge the message.

4. Perform a Jouse3 function as per Table 3-1. For example, you might perform

a puff which outputs character “a”.

5. A prompt will appear asking you to name the switch action you choose.

Enter your choice and select OK. One example is Puff.

6. You will be prompted to assign a switch action that will be associated with

the letter chosen in Step 4.

7. The switch is now created. For example, if you followed the example in these

steps, “a” will be associated with a single puff. You can configure up to 13

possible actions to use with different keyboard outputs with the Jouse3.

8. Enable Switch Control mode by toggling that indicator to the ON position.

Follow the following choices to access that toggle: Settings > Accessibility

> Switch Control > Toggle set to ON.

• The numbers 0 and 1 refer to the position of the DIP switch, i.e., 0 is the OFF

position and 1 is the ON position.

• The small case letter x indicates that a switch position has been chosen to enable

or disable the function or is unrelated to other DIP switches currently featured.

Table 3-3: DIP Switch Settings for Dwell Cursor Output

DIP Switches 5 and 6: Select Dwell Cursor Delay Time

Once you’ve specified the dwell cursor action (left-click, right-click, etc.),you must then select an

appropriate dwell cursor delay time. This parameter specifies how long the mouse cursor must be

stationary before the selected dwell cursor action will occur.

The following steps describe the dwell cursor operation to close a window using a left-click. It is

assumed that the dwell cursor has been previously configured to a left-click and dwell time has

been set to two seconds.

1. Move the mouse cursor to the X in the upper right corner of an open window.

2. Stop moving the cursor, i.e., let it dwell, for two seconds.

3. After two seconds a left-click is automatically sent by the Jouse3 and the

window closes.

Table 3-4 lists the available dwell cursor delay times and the associated DIP switch settings.

3.1.2 Disabling the Sip and/or Puff Input(s)

DIP switches 7 and 8 can be used to disable the sip and/or puff capability of the Jouse3. This is

often used in conjunction with external switches connected to the switch inputs on the front panel

of the Jouse3, which can be used to provide an equivalent alternative to sip/puff inputs. DIP

switches 7 and 8 work exactly the same way regardless of the positions of the other DIP switches.

The available switch selections are described in Table 3-5.

3.1.3 Jouse3 Front External Switch Inputs

On the front of the Jouse3 are two external switch inputs (refer to Figure 3-3), which allow you to

connect devices that have a standard 1/8 inch jack. These switches can then be used as a right or

left-click. A switch connected to the left external switch input will represent a left-click. A switch

connected to the right external switch input will represent a right click. These switch inputs can be

used with DIP switches 7 and 8 (disable sip inputs and/or puff inputs) to provide an alternative

method of providing these inputs. Internally to the Jouse3, the switch inputs do the same thing as

the sip/puff inputs.

3.2 Jouse3 Front Potentiometers

There are two small potentiometers (pots) that can be accessed on the front of the unit. The

potentiometers function like a dial or knob that can be turned and, although the potentiometers

themselves are hidden behind the front endplate of the Jouse3, there is a small hole in front of each

potentiometer so that a small screwdriver can be inserted to adjust it.

Generally, these pots are intended to be set up once and then left alone; however, one difference

between these adjustments and those made with the DIP switches are that the changes are

recognized by the Jouse3 immediately and there is no need to disconnect and connect the USB

cable as there is with the DIP switches.

7 = up 8 = down Sip inputs are disabled / puff inputs are enabled.
