I have an older Omegatrac, circa 2001, and I have the chin control. It might be extremely difficult to try to repair and modify chin controller with sip and puff. The chin control does the entire sequencing of all of the functions. The only place in the United States where you can get parts is Next Mobility. We have had the most luck with contacting the electronics distributor for our control. Liber-T Medtech Inc.

Assume that drive and steering control will be via chin (or lips) joystick. We want chair tilt and other functions to be controlled via sip and puff; meaning we cycle through the various functions and select and operate them entirely by sip and puff and not by the joystick. Rather than trying to install old sip and puff parts, some of which are probably broken, I would rather get an up-to-date setup. If you can, please recommend good current hardware that will permit sip and puff control of these functions: -- chair tilt up and down -- front shock absorber pumps fill and empty -- rear shock absorber pumps fill and empty -- lights on and off (optional) Thanks.
