Re: How to program mecanum wheels with two joysticks
My team is running into a snag with the Holonomic VI. We can run forwards and backwards just fine. We can even turn left and right; no problem. We are having trouble strafing. When we try to do it the robot just stands in place with all 4 wheels spinning. We put it on blocks and noticed that when we ask for a strafe, the front wheels go forward and the back wheels go backward. This does not make sense given the "X" pattern we have set for the wheels.
My programmer did a great job creating his own drive code that works as intended, but does not have the Gyro support the holonomic VI has. So a few questions:
1.Will it be easier to: a: change the NI VI to allow us to strafe correctly or b: integrate the gyro to stabilize our drive base using our own code?
2. how would we go about doing 'A'?
3. how would we go about doing 'B'?

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
