Re: Best way to control the mechanum wheels
Which develpment environment are you planning to use?

If its LabView, the VIs are all supplied. You'll have to do some problem solving to convert the joystick's output (or any other kind of steering device) to the inputs that the mechanum VI requires.

I can vouch for the LabView VI. We used it last year, it works great. And we've done mechanum wheels 3 of the last 5 years. Like anything else, there are tradeoffs to consider.
