Gaining OEM Access!

 *** DO NOT CHANGE ANY SEATING SETTINGS VIA THE R-NET SOFTWARE!!!***

this WILL break stuff!! it may look like ya can change settings, BUT not from the R-NET side of things!!

People tend to ignore this warning - but SERIOUSLY 

DONT DO IT!!! DO NOT CHANGE SEATING SETTINGS ON PERMOBIL CHAIRS!!

your chair will STOP DRIVING OR WORKING COMPLETELY!!

 

How to Gain OEM access to R-Net Controlled Power Wheelchairs!

1) Get the software

    a) Permobil Dealer Software - - - https://permobilus.com/support/drivers-and-software/
and download PC Programmer (ver 6.1.5)

    b) Sunrise OEM - - -https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u7i3n-MuNvqk560zNt-82ql5VCYgBr84/view?usp=sharing

2) get a windows computer - ((windows 7 works best in my experience) - but w10 will probably work fine)

3) get an R-Net USB Dongle (access level doesn't matter)

4) install permobil R-net Software, and get the chair connected to the dongle
(i wont cover how to do this - if you're attempting these mods - ya should already know what you're doing :^)

5) Open permobil dealer software, and 'read from controller'

6) file menu -> 'save as OEM'


7) wait for file to be created  (90 seconds max)

8) close permobil software, and VERY IMPORTANT  - UNPLUG THE USB DONGLE FROM THE COMPUTER

*** SAVE A BACKUP OF THIS OEM FILE - IN CASE YOU NEED TO REVERT BACK TO YOUR STOCK SETUP FOR WHATEVER REASON!! ***
 
AGAIN DO NOT BYPASS THIS STEP!!!
MAKE A BACKUP AND SAVE IT SOMEWHERE!!

save a copy of the file in another folder, or a flash drive, or somewhere safe!!

9) open sunrise OEM software (with R-Net dongle DISCONNECTED)

10) File -> open -> 'your oem file name'  (open the file you created with the permobil software

11) ignore any errors about access levels, or out of date software




12) now you can expand the tree, and make any changes you want! (be careful!)

***************************************************************
this is the point where you can enable stealth mode, change speed inhibitors, and enable latched driving (cruise control) etc..
(https://r-netoem.blogspot.com/2019/08/stealth-mode.html)

HOWEVER CHANGING SETTINGS IN THE SEATING SECTION CAN VERY EASILY SCREW UP YOUR CHAIR! - 

DO NOT adjust the actuator movement limits!
permobil has has to swap the sames for some of the axis / seating functions, and they're not labeled correctly in this software!

now you can continue on to the "Stealth Mode" settings
Link ----> Stealth Mode Article

OR

Disabling speed inhibitors  link ---->   Remove Inhibitors Article

OR

Enable Cruise Control (Latched Driving)  link ----> Cruise Control Article

After making your desired changes,
come back to this article, and continue on with step # 13 below

***************************************************************

13)  File -> SAVE AS... (you want to keep your original OEM file for later use or mistakes as a backup)

14) Close sunrise software, reconnect the USB dongle, and open Permobil Dealer software
(make sure the chair is connected in the software)


15) open the file you edited in the sunrise software File -> open

16) in the box that pops up, warning you how smart you are, click 'program to immediately write your new file to the chair's controller


17) Wait - sometimes the progress bar isnt accurate (90 seconds max)  if you get any errors, try re writing again - but 90% of the time it'll work even if theres an error (unless you're trying to write settings for a different controller type (like 90amp to a 120amp etc))

18) BURNOUTS!!
