Back in 2010 I was thinking about building some kind of automated machine or robot for cleaning up the hundreds of windfall apples from my lawn each week. Rather than buying new motors I decided to pick up an old electric wheelchair from ebay and take the motors from that, but once I got hold of the wheelchair it turned to have some interestingly hackable internals.

Hi I’ve got same model and Hardley moves not sure what’s wrong with it
I really dont see any hack that your video suggest. But there are people that could really use that chair instead of you running around your yard
Jim, nice project. I have the same model pronto and trying to hack the joystick. I'm hoping you can share your code.
they make a little ball that looks like a cage made out of wire it's got a handle on it it looks like one of those popper things little babies push around the house that are very annoying but it's a cage instead on a ball on a long handle you push it around the yard and it picks up your apples look it up on eBay they're only a few dollars
Pronto 51m was running great ,but suddenly it started blinking, and service indicator comes on. Do you have a video how to fix that?
I dont have a setting to put a seat up or down
I have one of those wheelchairs but doesnt raise the seat button mine has lost the power to go on the fast setting its pretty slow just wondering is there anything i can do to it to make it go faster the fastest setting goes like a smail and it never used to be like that i need to get it upto speed again would you think it may be the battery
This is really interesting jim. My father is actually in a wheelchair now for ober 30 years. We all mess around with different types of motorsports in my family. I have always wondered about the possibilities his chairs have. I also have a device that connects to the chair and i am able to adjust all types of settings like speed and brake etc. One of my main questions is can we make his chair faster? We have many parts and chairs to play with i just never got around to it. Any info would be appreciated.
Kisiera saber de cuantos amperios son los fusibles de mi silla electrica pronto m 41 aki en Honduras no saben de eso grasias
hi I have this chair and after charging it, it runs fine for like 30 minutes then joystick reads full power still but it wont go any ideas? I put new batteries and new power cord
Hey Jim, can I get this code from you also? Do you need to have to factory joystick control hooked up to use the code that your using?
Strange. I checked the model # 3 times, I have fibromyalgia and will forget in seconds, but I don't have a LCD. So it didn't get me anywhere. Thanks again Jim. You have been so kind to help me.
Thank you Jim. I tried it several time and it still won't move. I need it so bad to go to doctors but Thank you very much. David
I have a similar wheelchair that I think is locked but I don't have the lock button. I tried holding the power button down but it just turns off. There is a small flashing X ,yellow, at the bottom of the joystick. Please help me, if you can. Thanks David
Hey mathom – I seem to be unable to reply to your comment – I think it has something to do with Google+ settings… Anyway.. if you spot this message, then ping me a message with an email address and I'll send you my sourcecode back in reply. Cheers!!
Doesn't feel 4 years ago …then I recognised the old N900 🙂
Good old days !!
Time to get the apples sorted BTW
