Method and apparatus for setting or modifying programmable parameters in power driven wheelchair

摘要

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.

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.
