Performance evaluation of communication methods on electric wheelchairs as assistive technology for persons with disabilities

Abstract The error detection method is a system that determines errors in the data transmission process. One of the algorithms used to calculate this process is cyclic redundancy by sending binary data using mathematical analysis. The result of error detection found that a success rate of 65% and an error of 35%, it can be stated that the wireless communication process using module nRF24L01 has a high connection rate. Furthermore, connection loss can cause packet loss to the recipient during the communication process. This research was applied to assist disabled people with leg disabilities. These systems were equipped with nRF24L01 as transmitter and nRF24L01 as receiver. Both are installed Arduino Nano and Arduino Mega 2560. A controller smart glove tools are installed on an electric wheelchair as a support device with nRF24L01 module communication. This research was successfully implemented on the electric wheelchair.
