Joystick with control panel

Joystick and control panel can also be installed separately

The panel and the joystick are mechanically connected by an aluminum hinge.  
A display and LEDs provides information about the active operating mode. Furthermore the display shows a trip odometer, the current speed or the velocity mode (velocity range at the joystick).
A chain of six LEDs informs about the battery charge level.

The joystick lever serves mainly as steering control for the wheelchair. Depending on the forward or backward motion of the joystick the wheelchair will accelerate in forward or rear direction. If the joystick is additionally moved to the right or to the left, cornering in the corresponding direction will be realized.

Moreover the joystick is used to select the appropriate velocity mode (velocity range at the joystick) and to control the servo motors for the seat and the foot rest.

On the bottom side of the joystick-casing are three connector sockets with mechanical interlock. The middle socket is used to connect the control panel, the right socket is for the main unit and the left socket is the PC-interface.
The joystick mounting is done via four drills with internal screw threads (M4x10). It can be fixed i.e. at the framework of the wheelchair.
