Joystick controlled wheelchair

[alikaradag]

Hi all,
Am a wheelchair user and have both manual and power assisted wheelchairs.
I watched a video about how to turn standard power wheelchair to a wireless
controlled wheelchair using the MSP430 launchpad.
Is there any idea about how the code that I need using IAR Enbedded workbench software
with the MSP430?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the MSP430 to give you guidance.

But I can still give you some SOLID advice, coming from my experience working for a manufacturer of industrial and heavy machinery joysticks.

The advice is, regardles of the platform you decide to use:
-Always have redundancy.
-Always have a failsafe mode.
