Interestingly, all the other modes are subsets of the 3-degree-of-freedom mode. So once you have the 3-degree-off-freedom programmed, you can get the other modes just* by converting the driver interface commands to the equivalent 3 degree commands. For example, the conversion for Ackermann steering is shown here.



* "just" software. I hate that phrase. Don't you?
