NOW WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS
IS THERE ANYWAY THAT I CAN INCREASE THE SPEED OF THE MOTOR AND IF SO WHAT IS IT?
ALSO I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE AUTONOMUS MODE AND HOW TO SET IT UP??
I WANT OUR ROBOT TO GO STRAIGHT 13 AND A HALF FEET LIFT ITS CLAW AND WERE GOING TO INCLUDE A LIMIT SWITCH A LITTLE BIT MORE LIGHT ON THAT SUBJECT WOULD BE KIND!
THATS ALL FOR NOW FOLKS AND I KNOW IM BEING BOSSY BUT IT WOULD HELP ALOT IF I GOT QUICK REPLIES ILL BE POSTING EVERY TUESDAY,WEDNESDAY,FRIDAY AND SATURDAY BECAUSE OF THE SHORT TIME IT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP IF YOU GAVE SOME QUIICK REPLIES
THANKS ALOT FOR UR HELP!!!! |
Please don't write in all caps. It's distracting.
In tank drive, left y-axis is left motors, right y-axis if right motors. Both forward means robot goes forward, one forward and one backwards means the robot twists on its axis.
In arcade drive, y-axis is fowards/backwards and x-axis is twisting.
To increase the speed, you have a few options. If you use WPILib and a function like TankDrive() or ArcadeDrive(), then how far you push the joystick changes the speed. If you want to code it yourself, send the motors a value from 0 to 254 for various speeds (with 127 being neutral). Search Chief Delphi and I'm sure you can find lots of sample code for this.
For autonomous mode, I recommend WPILib. It's very simple and easy to understand for beginners. You just have an AutonomousCode() function that's executed during autonomous mode. See WPILib's website for details.
In summary, welcome to Chief Delphi! But please be more polite, and always search for an answer to your question before you ask it.
