This is the LEPMIS Playstation 3 Switch Access Pod. This video shows some of the ways you can use this interface to allow a disabled person or persons to access the SONY Playstation3 console with just switches or a combination of switches and resistors etc. (although for the latter you would need a "techy" to set it up for you). Using this device a disabled person can access all 17 switch functions and both analogue joystick functions of the Playstation 3 handset. The switch access pod uses a circuit board taken from a genuine SONY PS3 handset, this guarantees 100% compatibility with other genuine SONY hardware and software products. The switch access pod does not contain an internal battery and so needs to be plugged into the USB port of the PS3 console. This is exactly the same procedure as would be used to charge a normal handset, and for initial handset configuration. For added convenience to the person setting up the game, the System buttons have been implemented as discrete switches. Start and select are on the back of the unit. The PS button is placed prominently on the top of the unit, and glows with a soft blue light to show that the unit is powered up. In all respects these system buttons work in exactly the same way as the do on an ordinary PS3 handset. The electrical connections to the SONY circuit board are achieved using impedance matching techniques and are optically isolated from the rest of the Switch Access Pod electronics and the client side circuits.
