Re: 4 motor Mecanum wheel code request

sorry, apparently my reply didn't get posted, been too busy to retype it.

yeah, I know LabView has a lot of examples, including the tank drive, but with my current understanding of LabView I don't understand what I am looking at. I tried editing basic things on them last year with little or no luck, plus with the basic tank drive we have 4 motors, and the example only has 2. That's why I was hoping to get an example on here, so I can ask questions about it, and it would have a better description of what it is, a lot of the examples in LabView are named things that I don't know what are. Plus we need something a little more advanced than basic tank drive.

I haven't looked through every thing yet though, we just recently got LabView on some other computers so we can really learn it (before it was just on the NetBook).

I really need to learn LabView, but I loathe having to do so, I'd rather just use C++, but my team wants LabView because they have a little more experience with it. I'm going to be watching more of the tutorials tomorrow though, one on LVMastery.com looks interesting to me, LabView for C programmers. Thanks for the site!

Most of our programmers can only program during the school day though, as they don't have LabView on their computers, (my self included) so we decided to ask so if we don't manage to learn LabView and program it in time we'll at least have some thing.

Again thanks for any and all help and all help already given!
