Arcade Drive Joystick error

Technical Java

I get an error with arcadeDrive
Error:


The method arcadeDrive(double, double) in the type DifferentialDrive is not applicable for the arguments (Joystick)

According to the Javadoc, the arcadeDrive method takes in two doubles, not a joystick object.

You would need to get the axes you want to use for speed and rotation from the joystick and pass their values to the method instead.

1= You have to declare an object type Joystick with an int value for the port of the joystick
2= arcadeDrive(<name of object>.getX(), <name of object>.getY());
for example

The Javadoc says the following:
differentialDrive.arcadeDrive(xSpeed, zRotation);

Will the following really work? Do you pass in the Y axis for the z rotation?
differentialDrive.arcadeDrive(stick.getX(),stick.getY());

FYI: Joystick stick;

5

You probably want the x axis (left and right) for rotation, and negative y axis for forward backward. (The reason for negative y axis is the y axis is negative 1 when it is pushed forward)
