Simulate robot drive

[siggy2xc]

If you could fix up the code I think that would help tremendously. Also would you mind describing what is happening in the relative movement vi? I really appreciate this, I feel like I'm really good at programming hardware in intuitive ways but terrible at creating virtual simulations of what it should do.

But yes I understand sin, cosine, and tangent. But not well enough to fully figure out the swerve drive quite yet (That can wait for awhile since we don't even have a swerve drive built yet).

Okay, here's an improved version.

• Front panel is more intuitive
• VI works with default values
• no longer runs at full blast (which means less points are plotted)
• distance calculation is time-based

I made an some options for it to be controlled via Joysticks, but I haven't implemented that yet. (The appropriate VIs are in the HID pallette. Make sure you're targeted to your computer; Human Interface Device drivers aren't available for the cRIO, and so that palette will be hidden.)

EDIT:
It's still not impeccably documented, but it should be clear what each section does, if not why it works.

Well I now feel stupid w/e seems like a very useful tool. Thanks for all of the hard work that was put into this hopefully I'll get to using it.

I'm not sure how much it will help with autonomous; anything it can show can be calculated using a drawing.
However, it might be useful as a little code debugger. Run "autonomous independent" while targeted to your computer, and it runs through this? That might be fun.

Remember: a simulation is only as realistic as you make it. Don't forget to "check your work" and make sure it describes what is actually happening with the robot on the field.
