robotdna is an unknown quantity at this point
Talon SRX "speed_control" mode? (Python)

Hello all,

Our team is programming our wheeled chunk of metal this year using Python (but, this issue doesn't seem to pertain to the Python subforum too much). While delving into other mecanum encoder threads, I saw a mention of a built-in SRX function that allows us to automatically send our desired wheel speeds directly to the controller, reducing our pain in figuring out how to really get our digital encoders to function with a mecanum drive.

So, is there a magical function that allows us to define a desired velocity (granted, I know it depends on wheelbase, radius, etc) so drifting is not as large of an issue?

Additional detail: All encoders are plugged into the SRX's which are all in a CAN daisy chain.


Thanks,
