Algorithim question: 4 wheel steering and power
I am making a prototype drivetrain in which all 4 wheels are (independantly) powered and al four wheels can swivle. The rear 2 wheels will always stay paralell and the front two will always stay paralel. Is there a standard algorithm for a software differential that takes into account the angle of all four wheels, and the desired speed and outputs the indevidual speed needed for each motor?
