Michael,
I agree with Ether. And Ether you are a great reference for all of us out here. Thanks for posting.
We also found the research confusing and contradicting, but we have had very little problem this year with our first year with Mecanum wheels using the AndyMark diagram. When we numbered and oriented our wheels and the connections to the PWM to match the AndyMark diagram we had no problem getting motion using the Labview Holonmic Drive with Cartesian coordinates. We did have to invert one of the motors, but everything else was great.
This is for Ether, would the Figure 2 be correct if we were looking at it "from the carpet?"
Thanks,
Jean-Ann
