Re: Programming Mecanum

Okay at this moment our programmers are working on trying to figure out the holonomic drive method. The motors are connected to the correct PWMs and we've been using the exact code given here in the forum but through our misfortune we have came up with the notion that the holonomic drive class has errors. Depending on what we do to our code the wheels will run in opposite directions, forward, or rotate; but never reverse.

We think it has something to do with the order of the parameters. Our programming works better if we put rotation where magnitude goes and vice versa. Direction is still much of a mystery.

As you can probably surmise from this entry our troupe of programmers are confused at this point. Right now our mentor is planning to copy the holonomic drive class in order to play with it to see if that yields any positive results.
