    I have a Jazzy HD Elite that is crazy slow! I’m disabled and I have to accept what my disability insurance will give me. Hopefully I don’t have to accept the limitations.
    Thanks for all your doing. Once you get to a point where I can get a shopping list of parts and instructions for enhancing the speed of a power chair for dummies I’m all in. I’ll continue to stay tuned and learn what I can in the meantime.

      Thanks for the feedback! I'm getting much closer to actually implementing into the chair and running it. I've got some free time coming up and plan to hit it hard to finish up. I'll definitely have a list of everything for ya.
      I will definitely be sharing it. I'm back to the battery build and assembly of the motor controller hardware in the next week. Thanks for your patience.

    Great project. I think I have most of the parts already. It's the code I'm not good at. Hope you share that.

      Thanks for the feedback! I've got the chair working now on the test stand and am in the middle of integration and assembly this week. Check out the short I just posted of the custom motor controller working for the first time.
      A kit is a possibility for the future..
      If you have a moment, do you mind filling out this survey to inform this project? Thanks in advance!

    A bunch of technical info isn't terrible... There is a reason I'm watching this for some reason rather than my usual stuff lol...
    Yes; Still here...
    Your remark about an entire video about the software side... Definitely! I was mostly on your channel for the Sondors info, but this is an interesting project and I should nudge myself to look at your code repository...
    IMHO, Discord would be a better setup than Whatsapp or Telegram etc...

    I notice a lot of wheel chairs use 14" wheels but I only have 8" wheels and wondering if I can compensate to attain 5 mph on smaller wheels....Looks like I can....subscribing.

  • @SolanoCounty707
    @SolanoCounty707 11 месяцев назад +1

    Help me understand, what would happen if you connected a 42v battery to the chair with all its factory components, I’m sure something would fry but is it possible to modify the original controller or other components so they could handle 42v

    • @trowantechworks
      @trowantechworks  9 месяцев назад +1

      I'm not sure without knowing the internals of that motor controller. But it is possible that you might damage the components with a voltage beyond what it is rated for.

  • @turtlewax2
    @turtlewax2 Год назад +1

    I desperately need your assistance. I purchased a Daredevil Mower. I absolutely love everything about it except that it is very very slow. I believe the motors driving the tracks are similar to wheelchair motors. They are 12 volt motors. There is also a alternator that recharges the battery.

    I have a qwickie quantum I modified for my grandkids. I just want to make it a little faster, not a racecar. What can I do for that?

    • @trowantechworks
      @trowantechworks  9 месяцев назад +3

      I think you'd have to replace the motor controller unfortunately, as I have done in this video series. There isn't a good way to re-program the proprietary motor controller.

    how are you simulating the potentiometer with the arduino?

    • @trowantechworks
      @trowantechworks  10 месяцев назад

      I'm reading the potentiometer as an "analog input" into the ESP32, and then scaling that value with 0 to 100%. I know which direction the joystick is being pushed because the y axis value is forward and backward (negative and positive) and the x value is left and right (negative and positive). Does that answer your question?

    Did you put a diode across the output to the motor? This seems to be an effective way of keeping the smoke inside of these controllers

    • @trowantechworks
      @trowantechworks  2 месяца назад

      did that at the motor controller output to the motors. I also added capacitors to smooth it out as well
