Re: What is your favorite holonomic control setup?

We are planning to experiment with an RC multicopter style control layout for mecanum. For the initial testing we will be using my FRsky Taranis which supports a USB joystick mode natively. The right stick will control translation, the left x axis will control yaw (rotation), and the left y-axis will control max speed (throttle) to assist in precise movements.

We hope that the larger throw distance of the sticks on the RC transmitter will allow for more precise movement than the typical logitech gamepads.
