Method and apparatus for setting or modifying programmable parameters in power driven wheelchair
First Claim
1. A method of calibrating one or more operating parameters of a power driven wheelchair comprising:
- providing a first non-volatile storage storing one or more sets of calibration parameters associated with operation of the power driven wheelchair, wherein the first non-volatile storage is adapted for modification of the stored calibration parameters and is disposed within a wheelchair controller coupled to the power driven wheelchair;
displaying an interactive screen that displays calibration parameters and prompts for changing one of more of the displayed values; and
receiving signals from one or more input devices adapted for interaction with the interactive screen, adjusting the calibration parameters in response to the signals, and storing the adjusted calibration values in the first non-volatile storage.

Abstract
A collection of diagnostic and troubleshooting information associated with a power driven wheelchair is stored for access by a microcontroller to be displayed to a user to assist in troubleshooting the power driven wheelchair. A log of fault codes transmitted by various fault-detecting mechanisms is compiled. A user may request display of diagnostic information associated with a selected fault code. The operating instructions of a power driven wheelchair may be updated by using portable storage media onto which a latest version of operating instructions is loaded to transfer the updated operating instructions to wheelchair controller memory. The calibration of a power driven wheelchair can be simplified by providing functionality within the wheelchair controller to change calibration parameters or to transfer calibration parameters from portable storage media.
