The movement aids for people with motor system disability, especially the legs, has been currently very essential, because they also surely want to move freely from a place to another without bothering their family or closest friends. Therefore, this electric wheelchair research was made to facilitate the movement of people with disabilities within their activities, such as going to certain places or doing something. The design of the electric wheelchair was arranged in such ways to assist the body movements using joystick control connected to microcontroller Arduino. If the joystick lever was directed forward, backward, left and right, then the joystick command would be processed by the Arduino, so that it provided voltage to the motor driver, and the wheelchair could move forward, backward, turn left, and turn right. From 25 joystick command tests, it was shown the forward accuracy was 88%, the backward was 100%, the left turn was 100%, and the right turn was also 100%. Based on the test that have been conducted, the accuracy values represented that this electric wheelchair using joystick controller can be implemented as its function.
