Re: Controlling a Mecanum drive with two joysticks?
A simple way to use two joysticks is to tie them together mechanicaly so they will not go away from each other or together and use the mixing program for one joystick that comes with the control system. You can use the left joystick to control the left drives and the right joystick to control the right drives. You can go forward , back angle, and as you move the joysticks in oposit directions it will rotate. This is a simple fix and is easy to control. We did this and it solved all the problems. We did try to use one joystick to do everything but it was hard to have fine control. Also when you twist the controler to rotate you could get lots where your robot is actually going.
