Re: mecanum/holonomic/omni drive

Hello Egg,

I'm not sure I understand what you said, but you've captured my interest. Could you elaborate just a bit please?

What exactly didn't work? Is it that you had trouble converting the joystick outputs to polar coordinates, or some other problem?

What what does it mean to "establish" each of the 4 wheel motors "independently"? How is this different from, for example, what I posted?

Not sure what "wired straight from the joystick values" means. What would be an example of something not wired straight from the joystick values?

Thanks
