2015 Mecanum Drive/Joystick Example

[NeilR]

In "WPI_RobotDriveMecanumDrive_Cartesian.vi" (accessed by double clicking on the "Drive -- Holonomic Drive" block in the Teleop vi) over on the far left toward the bottom you see "Rotation", "X", "Y" inputs. By rewiring which goes to which input, you can control which joystick motion/wheel controls what behavior.

Please see this image, this is what works for us:

We use the z-axis input for side-to-side motion. On our old joystick that's a little wheel just below the handle.

P.S. Also, don't forget to swap the wires for motors 1 and 3.
