Re: Tank Drive Troubles

Easy way to test for proper operation of a Tank drive.

1.Put the robot up on blocks so the wheels are off the ground and not touching anything.
2. Push whichever joystick corresponds to the left side forward. Check if the left side drive wheels move forward.
2a. If they don't go to Begin.VI and wire a true constatnt into the Invert Left terminal of the Open X Motor drive.
3. Push the right joystick forward. Check if the right side drive wheels move forward.
3a. If they don't go to Begin.VI and wire a true into the Invert Right terminal of the Open X Motor drive.
4. Save and rerun, or rebuild and set as startup
5. Verify both sides now move in the proper direction.
