Re: Swerve drive control system
We've considered working up a crab-steer in the off-season. Our thoughts were to use a potentiometer/knob on a custom control box to steer a crab. If one uses a self-centering joystick, one will have to constantly maintain stick position to steer in that direction. Maybe you have a joystick with a twist or rotation option and momentary twists CW or CCW will jog the steer motor CW or CCW instead of going to set rotation...
