Re: ANNOUNCING: navX MXP Robotics Navigation Sensor
Scott and All,
I was wondering if there's a good layman's comparison of the nav features comparing the Nav6 vs the NavX? We had the misfortune of buying the Nav6 right before the NavX announcement and have to financially consider buying a batch of NavX's now. With that said, the Nav6 provided flawless performance during our season, we implemented FOD on Mecanum, with a bunch of special alignment "rotate-to-angle" type features. Your support was also stellar (thank you!).
Your best practices page explains a lot - and there are some pros and cons to the various connection methods as compared to the Nav6. I understand all that, but need help with the Navigation features.
What benefit is the NavX providing over the Nav6? Practically speaking for an FRC robot? Does the 9-axis benefit most users? Are there other nav features I may not be considering, or future products worth waiting for? We typically were just using yaw readings for FOD - but may expand that to some of the accel features in the off season and next year.
Thanks for the help -
