Re: [2011] Mecanum Controller
Quote:
fore/aft (forward/reverse) left/right (strafe) and rotate (turn, yaw) It can perform all these motions simultaneously, resulting in motions that sometimes look like an ice skater rather than a wheeled vehicle. To get the full capability of a mecanum, you would need to give the driver control of each of these 3 degrees of freedom. Thus, a 3-axis joystick or 2 2-axis joysticks. Typical driver interfaces are (3-axis joystick) Y-axis fore/aft X-axis strafe Z axis rotate (2 2-axis joysticks) "Halo" Y1-axis fore/aft X1-axis strafe X2-axis rotate There are of course many other interfaces. You can use the 2-axis joystick in the kit of parts, and buy another exactly like it. I believe Logitech makes a suitable 3-axis joystick. Or you can use a single 2-axis joystick: with trigger not pulled: Y-axis fore/aft X-axis strafe with trigger pulled: Y-axis fore/aft X-axis rotate The above, of course, allows only 2 degrees of freedom at a time, but may be sufficient for your purposes, depending on the game. |
