Same question. To add on, do you feel there are any advantages to using the steering wheel controller? (User intuitiveness, just feels easier/right to use, etc?)

Re: pic: FRC971 Spartan Robotics Presents: Renegade
Austin can give a more accurate answer than I, but I believe we are running a version of "Cheesy Drive"
At high speeds, your rate of turn is very sensitive to small disturbances in drive side speeds, so holding a good line with tank sticks gets increasingly difficult as your drive speed goes up. By letting the computer take care of the exact speeds and feeding the system a turning radius and speed, high speed control becomes much easier. It also allows you to scale the steering response based on your throttle level, although I don't know if we do that or not. The quick-turn button allows a more traditional steering scheme for in-place turns. We've been using a steering wheel setup since 2006 and it's served us really well. It's just the wheel and a joystick for throttle control, as Jared surmised. |

Re: pic: FRC971 Spartan Robotics Presents: Renegade
Thanks. Just for reference, do you know which steering wheel controller you use?

Re: pic: FRC971 Spartan Robotics Presents: Renegade
I believe the one we are using at the moment is a Ferrari Thrustmaster wheel. We've used a few different ones in the past, but they weren't as robust. The wheel needs to be auto-centering one way or another, whether that be by design or stringing surgical tubing inside the wheel. However, its much better to have it bought as auto-centering. It less work to convert over.
