Technical NI LabVIEW
1

Hello everyone,
Me and my team decided to use mecanum wheels for our robot.
We programmed the robot to drive backwards,forward,left and right.
Now the driver wants us to program the robot to rotate around it self using the z axis (we bought a special joystick):

Haven’t done this before, but try reading the 3rd axis (1 is usually X axis, 2 is usually Y).

instantiate each of your motors independently and set values with the motor’s “Set Speed” icon. This would completely eliminate the Holonomic drive issue, because you would take it’s place with setting and instantiating each motor.

Respond if you did/did not understand
