Index 8.0
Configurable Parameters-There is only one additional configurable parameter in the
i-Drive configuration application for switched inputs, sensor sensitivity.
Sensor Sensitivity–This parameter shifts the position of the switch no-change region. A
higher value therefore means that a switch will always be interpreted as ON, whereas a
lower value means that a switch will almost always be interpreted as OFF.
Proportional Input Controls–Proportional inputs can be assigned to proportional
functions such as forward/reverse (F/R) and left/right (L/R). If the proportional input is
determined to be nonzero it will be output to the chair.
Configurable Parameters-Proportional inputs have the following additional configurable
parameters. Not that it is best to handle these by first calibrating the input through
‘Joystick Calibration’ in the i-Drive configuration applications.
Dead Band Region-This may be used to define the dead band low and high relative to
the proportional limits minimum, center, and maximum. Calibration is required in order
to calculate the center voltage.
Calibration-This feature is accessible directly through Config Mode rather than the
Channels menu after a proportional function has been assigned. The calibration
procedure calculates the center voltage as well as the recommended values for the
proportional region and dead band region based on user input.
Linked Left-Right-The left and right inputs can be linked so the chair moves forward
when both are engaged. This feature may be enabled under the sensor settings for ‘Left’
or ‘Right’ in the i-Drive Mobile apps, or by selecting ‘Linked Left and Linked Right’ to the
respective channels in the i-Drive Programmer Windows application
Multi-Tap-The i-Drive system implements an extended double-tap timer to
accommodate clients who need a longer double-tap input time. The double-tap exten-
sion time is shared with the triple-tap activation time in mouse mode, hence the name
‘Multi-Tap’.

2
Index 8.0
Configurable Parameters (Mouse Emulation)-The multi-tap feature is configurable under
‘Multi-Tap’ in the i-Drive configuration applications. Two parameters are configurable,
Input Delay and Output Speed.
Input Delay-This is the longest time that the i-Drive system will wait for additional taps
after the first tap is detected. It may be set manually or calibrated using the ‘Calibrate’
option in the i-Drive Configuration applications. No single or double tap input will be
acknowledged until after time has expired, thus, this delay should be set as short as
possible based on how fast the user can reliably tap the input.
Output Speed-This is the speed of the multi-tap pulse that is sent to the chair. The i-Drive
system simulates a user inputting a multi-tap to the chair at a faster rate. This may set
manually in the i-Drive configuration applications.

Design And Function 10.0
Intended Use 10.1
The i-Drive control system allows the use of alternative input devices to drive an electric
wheelchair. Up to six input devices such as an egg switch, proximity pad, Sip & Puff,
head array, and tray array are supported. The i-Drive system relies primarily on
two types of input interpretations: switched and proportional.
The interpretation used for each channel is dependent on the function assigned to it.
The i-Drive system includes software that can display real-time diagnostics data,
such as the desired direction of motion, to help setup and verify a configuration.
Features 10.2
Bluetooth® Programming App with full wireless programming capabilies.
Smart Input Connecons-sensors and mechanical switches can now be placed at any port.
Easy interface exchange capability
Real-me diagnoscs data
NOTICE
Existing dongles will not work with the new 4.0 interface, however 4.0 dongles
will work with the 3.0 interface.
SAFETY
Chair calibration has been successfully tested on QLogic 2, QLogic3, and R-Net
Omni enhanced displays. Call your sales representative for compatibility with
other electronics.

Design And Function 10.0
Factory Settings 10.3
The i-Drive 4.0 has the capability of taking inputs from mechanical switches,
proximity sensors, fiber optic sensors, joysticks, and Sip & Puff modules (all
which can be configured by a certified technician). With the new i-Drive
interface, there is the capability of running diagnostics with the associated
Advanced Programming Software from your PC by using the supplied USB
cable, and now also includes the option to download the i-Drive App and
program the interface directly from your phone via Bluetooth®wireless
technology.
NOTICE
The software will not read correctly if a non Bluetooth® dongle is plugged into
a port. Any dongle plugged into the interface MUST be Bluetooth®.
NOTICE
All connectors have blue heat shrink on the cord for visual reference and easy
recognition.
