2015 Mecanum Drive/Joystick Example

[ShadowBot]

Alright, I made the diagram which helped me get four of six the basic directions/functions working. However, the last one isn't lining up correctly with the mecanum function meaning I can't switch the two around to make them work. I don't see a basic way to make it work without messing up the other directions. (i might be misinterpreting turning/rotating)

Holonomic Code
Table Showing Wheel Directions
Teleop Code

I am going for the same control scheme as ProfessorGordo on the Xbox controller.

Your Desired(moveLeft) arrows are incorrect.

So are the Desired(moveRight).

They should be swapped with each other.

Change to front right and back left motor in the begin.vi and it would work perfectly. then you just have to figure out the Controller. Good luck!

Just to be clear: are you recommending swapping the front right and back left motors?

Yep, give it a try. And then you have to set up the controls right. But at least you get the sideway drive running.

I assume he meant switching back right and front right, because that lined up correctly and got the drive working.
I initially read the wheel rotation wrong on the diagram that I was looking at so that screwed me up (brain wasn't working apparently). Thanks for your help.

No. He seems to have meant what he said. That's why I asked him to confirm.

...because that lined up correctly and got the drive working.

Perhaps he didn't see post #13.
