Index Index 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.

Calibration 10.0 To get the best performance from the i-Drive, calibration is required. It is important to note that calibration of the wheelchair to i-Drive is required even if i-Drive is using switched inputs. NOTICE In all cases, calibration can only be done by a user with appropriate access granted.
Page 28
Calibration 10.0 DANGER Calibration should be done without the user in the chair. WARNING To prevent motion during calibration, disengage the motors of the power chair before calibrating. Connect to the i-Drive and login using your username and password with configuration access.
Page 29
Calibration 10.0 Enter Chair Calibration mode using the i-Drive Configuration App. During this step, the i-Drive is commanded to output a calibration sequence to the wheelchair. This sequence is equivalent to rotating a joystick counter-clockwise in two full circles. One completed, the i-Drive returns to the configuration screen.
Calibration 10.0 Joystick Calibration 10.2 To calibrate a joystick, at least one input channel must be assigned to Proportional Forward/Reverse or Proportional Left/Right. If only one is assigned then the calibration procedure only calibrates the assigned one. If both are assigned then the calibration procedure calibrates both.
Page 31
Calibration 10.0 If Proportional Forward/Reverse is assigned: Tilt the joystick full forward until the time bar expires. Tile the joystick full reverse until the time bar expires. If Proportional Left/Right is assigned: Tilt the joystick full left until the time bar expires. Tilt the joystick full right until the time bar expires.
Calibration 10.0 Joystick calibration is now complete. The app will return to the configuration screen. Calibration Verification 10.3 To verify the calibration of a joystick, first disengage the wheelchair motors. Enter Diagnostic mode. Move the joystick and verify that the diagnostic bars mirror the motion of the joystick.
