For use with products such as head arrays, sip and puffs, proximity trays, fiber optics and mini proportional joysticks, the i-Drive performs as a “blank slate” with the wheelchair to allow the user to personalize its functions. i-Drive offers options such as channel assignment, double-tap timing, mode selection and a sensor engagement setting to enable programming for each sensor. This interface provides real-time communication with the chair for smoother acceleration, steering and stopping.
