Crab Input Simulator

_Ok, It’s a DOS prog, I’ll get that out of the way.
Basically, this lets you see what kind of input you’ll get for a crab drive, particularly my multi-drive, as I’ve explained in quite a few threads. This demo will be updated, this is phase 1. The 2 most obvious problems are:

    Ok, It’s a DOS prog, I’ll get that out of the way.
    Basically, this lets you see what kind of input you’ll get for a crab drive, particularly my multi-drive, as I’ve explained in quite a few threads. This demo will be updated, this is phase 1. The 2 most obvious problems are:
  • Ranges 127 to 90 report the same drive speed (this isn’t a bug)
  • Going over the X axis at 127, or -127, etc., results in a full quick reverse of drive. I’m planning on trying to shorten the “dud” window, and have a slight check for immediate change that “Buffers” the shift so it’s not too fast.
    Anyway, just give it a look. Look for some of the treads in the technical section to see the math that went into it.
    (BTW, this is written in QB4.5)
