Method and apparatus for setting or modifying programmable parameters in power driven wheelchair
First Claim
1. A method associated with a power driven wheelchair, comprising:
- storing a parameter set on a portable storage medium, wherein the parameter set comprises parameters associated with operation of the power driven wheelchair;
coupling the portable storage medium to a first controller associated with a first power driven wheelchair, wherein the first controller comprises a first local storage device to store parameter sets; and
selectively transferring the parameter set from the portable storage medium to the first local storage device.

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.

12. An apparatus associated with a power driven wheelchair comprising:
-
a first controller associated with a first power driven wheelchair, wherein the first controller comprises a first local storage device for storing a parameter set, wherein the parameter set comprises parameters associated with operation of the power driven wheelchair; and a first storage medium interface associated with the first controller for interfacing with a portable storage medium that can store the parameter set for transfer from the portage storage medium to the first local storage device when the portable storage medium is coupled to the storage medium interface. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22)
