Create a low speed drive in programming
Our robots are a little too fast for anyone other than the driver to control. Since we take our robots out for demos and stuff, I being the programmer would want it to be safe. So I have been trying to come up with a program to drive this thing at half speed when the joystick are at full forward. We can't just divide all the values by 2 because that moves the center from 127 to 63.5. Anybody done such a thing, or can come up with a working program for this? I would appreciate any help
Thanks,
-Bharat
