Re: Need Help With Mecanum Code


We'd like to help you, but we need to understand what you are trying to accomplish before we can give suggestions how to do it.

There are many different ways you can integrate a gyro with your drivetrain control. Tell us what you want the gyro to do for you.

What I want to assume is that mechanical is mostly perfect and we want sensors to correct any errors.
What kind of errors are you referring to? What does the vehicle presently not do that you want it to do? Or conversely, what does the vehicle presently do that you don't want it to do?

However, we are getting a NAV6 IMU sensor to mount to give us that extra "oomph"
Can you explain what you mean by "oomph"?

Or, are you just seeking suggestions how encoders and IMUs can be used with a drivetrain?
