Hello everyone

I need one help, can anyone please help me how to code 6motor drivetrain using block coding please.

Create two motor groups: one for the left motors and one for the right motors.
Here’s an outline of the code, you should be able to replicate this with blocks:


when driver control
{
forever
{
if (abs(forward_input) + abs(turn_input) > 10)
{
left_motors_velocity = forward_input + turn_input;
right_motors_velocity = forward_input - turn_input;
spin(left_motors);
spin(right_motors);
}
else
{
stop(left_motors);
stop(right_motors);
}
}
}

I use controller axis 3 for forwards and axis 1 for turning, but that’s up to your preference. The if statement lets you make a dead zone, and you can adjust it to your liking by changing the number. Note that the above code isn’t correctly formatted for any particular language, but is just a basic textual representation of my code. I would give you a screenshot of actual code, but I’m currently on my phone.

Google is your friend here. I searched the exact title of this topic, and it gave me multiple videos showing how.

Well, you would need to manually code the otherwise automatically generated drivetrain functions. THIS IS INSANELY HARD, I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. I suggest trying to learn python/c++, or to at least code all the rest in block before switching to python or c++ for the drivetrain. I think that in IQ and V5, at least, you can switch to python/c++ coding.
