But I do have another question. I have heard that in Easy C Pro you can type in the code manually instead of using the flow chart. But I cannot figure out how! I checked the help file. It says that you can, but I cannot figure out how. How?
Does your mecanum drive have any feedback installed or is it completely open loop? If it's open loop, the problem is probably not with your joysticks -- but with the inherent inequalities in the mechanical properties of the motors and gearboxes controlling each wheel.
