Synopsis

This paper discusses a wheelchair that is joystick controlled and can just on just only be controlled by pointing the joystick in the direction. This wheelchair consists of a BLDC motor that is the main motor for controlling the forward and backward direction of the wheelchair. It consists of a brushed DC motor that’s main function is to give direction to the wheelchair. It is connected via a gear mechanism just above the main motor, i.e., the BLDC motor. The relay controls both the BLDC and brushed motor, and the relay is operated by the Arduino that instruct according to the instruction provided by the joystick.
