The Brain Behind
Ongoing Partnership for Innovation
Stealth Products, LLC. and Trident Research, a new approach to technology
Stealth has created a developing partnership with Trident Research. Trident brings a degree of sophistication to our industry that is far advanced from the norm. Trident applied their knowledge of digital signal processing and integrated circuit design to develop a microprocessor for power wheelchair switch control. By combining reliable integrated circuits, modern electronic board design, and signal processing, Trident is introducing our industry to the same state of the art technologies used in smart phones and tablet devices we have become accustomed to.
Stealth's work with Trident is ongoing - It is a partnership committed to new solutions and products!

i-Drive Config App
i-Drive Configuration Software & Training Game
i‑Drive Config
Meet the i‑Drive Config programming application. This downloadable application is available to easily accomplish performance adjustments in a Graphical User Interface (GUI). Once downloaded and installed in your Desktop, Laptop, Tablet* or Phones, the software automatically updates the latest build or version. The i‑Drive Config Requires Windows 7, 8 or 10+ with the .NET 4.6 Framework. The i‑Drive Config is not required for the operation of the i‑Drive.
The i‑Drive Config includes USB or Bluetooth wireless connection, simply connect via your preferred method using i‑Drive Config for Windows.
NOTE[a] Ensure to disengage the power chair's motor(s) during configuration
[b] Initial testing should be performed in an open area free of obstacles and/or persons.
The i‑Drive Config allows:
- Remote Port Assignment
- Double Tap timing to specific speed of a "mode select" command.
- Mode Selection configuration on any port allowing client specific placement of reset/mode change.
- Sensor Engagement setting to program each sensor for proximity, sensitivity, and activation control. This is one of the key features for a more controlled driving experience.
- The configurator allows you to easily configure sensors, switches, sip & puff or joysticks in one easy-to-use interface.
- Bluetooth Wireless Technology securely connects to active i‑Drive devices
Built with Security in Mind
The i‑Drive Config is specially designed and developed for security. Even though it is easy to connect to any device on the same network through Bluetooth Wireless Technology, as with any other Bluetooth device it needs to be paired before being able to connect, but also, the technician or clinician who's going to configure the device needs to be registered under our Dealer Access Directory System (D.A.D.S).
When starting any configuration software, the technician will be prompted to login to his/her account before being able to configure the i‑Drive.
The i‑Drive Config for iOS and Android also designed with the same layers of security and are available on your favorite app store for iOS or Android devices.
What is D.A.D.S? The Dealer Access Directory System (DADS) is a cloud based technology used to manage, register or assign Stealth products to specific dealers or representatives. Through a connector application, all data is signed and logged when an assigned and certified representative logs in to the configurator and it also processes all representative requests.

i‑Drive Interface & Functions
The i‑Drive enclosure measures 3.625in. (9.21cm) wide x 1.24in. (3.15cm) height -no ring- [2.64in. (6.71cm) height with ring] and can be mounted discretely on the back of the head support, integrated into a lap tray, or mounted in a custom location. The enclosure is water tight aluminum with a removable bracket that holds the wire leads securely. The enclosure contains the microprocessor that decodes the signal inputs from the individual switches.
There are six inputs and one output to the chair. One dongle is included that converts one input into two 1/8in. (3.18mm) mono inputs with the ability to add a second dongle for a total of four (4) 1/8in. mono ports.
The i‑Drive Interface supplies six input ports allowing:
- Connection to 4 proximity sensors
- 4 mechanical switches
- 8 independent functions
- Use of the supplied dongle doubling the input for mechanical switches
- Our i‑Drive Config allows for port assignment, sensitivity adjustment, and trouble shooting

Compatible with Most Powerchair Electronics
IMPORTANT NOTES When Ordering: When ordering keep in mind that the i‑Drive can be preconfigured at no extra cost to your specific needs. Just make sure to provide what type of electronics are being used. When received, the i‑Drive will work out of the box with your electronics. If you need to configure sensor sensitivity, in the package you will find a note with the APS download link which allows you to accomplish this task. If you cannot find it, you can download it from this page .
