If you have a 3-axis joystick, it's simple. Use one axis (usually the Y axis) for forward/reverse, one axis (usually the X axis) for strafe right/left (sideways motion), and one axis (usually the twist axis) for rotation clockwise/counterclockwise.

See attached screenshot of the Mecanum Cartesion VI in LabVIEW and the MecanumDrive_Cartesian in C++.


Thanks. So axis y would be forward/back. Axis x strafe left/right. And Axis 4(Swivel) would be rotation. Correct?
