Re: 2015 Mecanum Drive/Joystick Example

After methodically testing the motors on our breadboard with the original, unchanged holonomic drive roboRIO project, we discovered that the only issue with the program is that the Y and Z (Rotation) axes coming from the array going into the Holonomic Drive VI are switched. It was a minor wiring issue and once corrected, everything worked fine. I have attached a copy of the table showing the correct mapping including the rotational directions of our motors and the true axis to which each belongs.

On the attachment, CW=clockwise, CCW=counter-clockwise

Hope this helps.
