Datasheets

An innovative and ergonomic game style pendant controller designed for controlling unmanned vehicles, robotics and other remote controlled applications, the PC series has been unveiled by APEM. This handheld device easily accommodates APEM’s TS series miniature proportional joystick and provides either analogue voltage or USB output.

APEM developed the PC series to provide a control method that is intuitive and easy to adapt to. Modelled from consumer video game controllers, the familiar design reduces the operator learning cycle and quickly increases efficiency and productivity.

The PC series is molded with high-impact, glass filled nylon and features a modular design to provide OEM’s the ability to configure the device as needed. Standard, off-the-shelf configurations can be specified with miniature Hall effect joysticks, snap action pushbuttons and USB interface. Future configuration options will include wireless communications as well as haptic feedback.

The PC series may be environmentally sealed up to IP67, making it suitable for use in the harshest of conditions. When configured with complementary components, the series is buoyant. This makes it suited for marine watercraft applications.

As standard, the PC series provides USB 1.1 interface and integrates seamlessly with software applications supporting USB joystick or mouse inputs via Microsoft DirectX. No device driver or manufacture specific SDK is required, the PC series is recognised as either an HID compliant game controller joystick or as a standard mouse or cursor control device.
