Re: Steering Wheel and Throttle programming

We have gotten a single joystick drive working previously, and to make things easy with the steering wheel and throttle, i immediately thought of merging the two. I thought you could just put in the steering wheel analog in as the joystick X and the throttle as the Joystick Y. Then, to make it a little smarter, put in some other logic as to not make it turn even when the throttle is not on. (ours spins in place if the joystick reads all X).

Thats just my thought, Have Fun.
