Re: Innovations in Control

2 drivers 4 joysticks . .

stick 1: tank left(trigger halfs the speed for fine control)
stick 2: tank right(triger halfs the speed for fine controll)


stick 3: opperates the turret(triger does an auto lock, x axis allows for the operator to controll manualy, hat allows for manual controll of the camera)

stick 4: opperates the cannon(triger fires, thumb sets the speed to what the code tells you the speed should be at your distance, aux 1 turns the speed down, aux 2 turns the speed up, and when you take the y axis all the way to 0 it turns the canon off.)

the dashboard shows the speeds of the 2 drive moters(well pwm value really) weather the camera can see the target, weather the turret is locked, what the speed of the cannon i if your on offence or defence

while it seams complicated its actuly very intuitive . . most things on there are for manual overrides
