Re: 2015 Mecanum Drive/Joystick Example

Mechanum Sample for 2015 seems to be faulty.

We have noticed (and fixed) a few problems in the sample Holonomic Mechanum Cartesian code:

1. The joystick inputs have Rotation, X and Y messed up. We had to fine-tooth-comb which should be hooked to what, but once we found the right VI, it was not difficult.

2. The motor comments that specify which motor gets which port has an error which prevents lateral X motion. We switched the wires between port/motor 1 and 3 and now it works fine.

Not sure how this slipped through, I hope this helps other teams (particularly newbies) to get their mechanums working.

Neil
