info on QTRONIX wheelchair motor controller?

[Kyler Laird]

I just purchased a Quickie G-424 wheelchair with the intent of
dabbling in robotics with it. I lucked out (I think.) and got
one with the optional "remote joystick." From the looks of it,
that means that the joystick communicates digitally with the
remote motor controller.

According to the manual, the 6 pin interface has battery positive
and negative (large gauge), speed limit (analog?), on/off, JSPAOT
and J BUSS. I assume the last two are the interesting ones.

I haven't located information on the QTRONIX protocol. Any
pointers?

Thank you.

Google for Burgerman's website. He's done quite a bit with the earlier
P&G controller, which I think may be similar. He's built a remote
control ROV lately, so maybe you could swap a few notes with him?
