Re: Mecanum Encoders

I have seen both of those threads and we are using the CAN bus. I suppose our largest problem right now is that the robot drifts when it drives forward and backwards, and strafes. The turning also seems to be terrible in the Holonomic Drive for Labview.

We basically followed this guide (http://www.pobots.com/files/8213/5726/0394/mecanum.pdf) step by step except for the new labview updates. I would think that I need to set the speeds of the talons through PID but I'm not sure how.
