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.
Design & Function Intended Use 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 pads, Sip & Puff, head array, and tray array are supported. The i-Drive system relies primarily on two types of input interpretations: switched and proportional.
Right * Ports 3 and 4 will always have dongles attached The i-Drive 4.0 is capable of taking inputs from mechanical switches, proximity sensors, fiber optic sensors, joysticks, and Sip 'n' Puff modules. With the new i-Drive interface, the interface can be programmed with the associated Windows Configurator Software.
MOUSE No (Sends to Bluetooth) The USB cable allows an external device to communicate with i-Drive via the use of a virtual communications port. The Bluetooth interface allows an external device to communicate with the i-Drive via a secure wireless Bluetooth connection.
Installation Instructions Installing the IDHBT500 Interface Step 1: Align the mounting tab on the interface STEP with the slot at the bottom of the split ring mount. Secure the inter-face to the ring mount with two M5 x 0.8 x 6mm button head screws.
Installation Instructions Uninstalling/Replacing the IDHBT500 STEP Step 1: Prior to removal, disconnect the IDHBT500 interface from the chair with the DB9 connector and disconnect any switches or proximity sensors. Be sure to note which ports the switches or sensors are connected STEP Step 2: Remove the M5 x 0.8 x 6mm screws...
Installation Instructions Replacing/Installing Dongles STEP Step 1: Loosen the #1 Phillips Machine Screws. Remove the retainer to expose the dongles plugged into the interface. Step 2: To remove a dongle from the interface, grasp the micro-mini end of the dongle at the interface and pull firmly to remove.

Assignments: Change the input channel assignments for any devices connected to the i-Drive. Calibration: Calibrate the chair and the i-Drive to the same neutral state. Channel Assignment After having selected a particular channel, a screen will pop up listing the available selections for that channel, along with an adjustment bar for the input sensor sensitivity.
Software Configuration Chair Calibration Selecting 'Chair Calibration' allows a user to calibrate the chair with the i-Drive, leveling both to the same neutral position. To get the best performance from the i-Drive interface, it is important to calibrate the interface to the wheelchair electronics.
If one, or both, of the input channels are assigned to Proportional Forward/ Reverse and/or Proportional Left/Right, then the joystick must be calibrated to send the proper motion signals to the wheelchair. During the calibration procedure, the i-Drive interface will not output motion signals to the wheelchair. To perform joystick calibration: 1.
