Two Talons for Two Sets of Wheels

[simon1636]

Hi! My team's robot has two sets of 3 wheels on each side. It's 6 in all. The left side is hooked up to a talon as well as the right. We are trying to get each game pad joystick to run each side seperately. In order to do this, would you assign each stick a talon, and have it so that when that joystick is pushed, the talons speed is set to a number? This is what I thought, but if anyone can show some sample code of our desired outcome, that would be great! Thank you guys so much!:)

Check out the Tank Drive class. When you go to create a project in eclipse, instead of clicking Robot Java Project, click "Example Robot Java Project" and find tank drive in the list.

After defining your Talons and Joystick objects in your Robot class, create a RobotDrive object like so:
RobotDrive drive = new RobotDrive(leftTalon, rightTalon);

Then simply call the tank drive function on your RobotDrive object:
drive.tankDrive(leftJoystick, rightJoystick);
