Mecanum Wheels Code

[Micah_7157X]

I know this is not Vex Coding Studio, but I am having trouble coding my mecanum wheels. Anyone have some sample code I could use? Im trying to have the left joystick control regular drivetrain motion while the right joystick controlling the strafing

There are some helpful explanations for what you are trying to do in this post:

Vexcode Mecanum Wheel Program

When programming a drive the general ideas is to add up all the values for the wheels, this may incude forward, sideways, left, right and/or turn. This picture shows the direction each wheel should go for mecanum wheels… Using this your code should look something like this… int forward = /*your value*/; int sideways = /*your value*/; int turn = /*your value*/; frontRight.spin(vex::forward, forward - sideways + turn, vex::percent); frontLeft.spin(vex::forward, forward + sideways - turn, vex:…

Check out Kepler electronics video about how menums work. Should be simple to program off of that knowledge.

Here’s a bit of our code so you know the syntax. A means front and B means back. You might have to reverse some of the pluses and minuses.

    leftMotorA.spin(vex::directionType::fwd,Controller1.Axis3.value() + Controller1.Axis1.value() + Controller1.Axis4.value(),vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    leftMotorB.spin(vex::directionType::fwd,Controller1.Axis3.value() - Controller1.Axis1.value() + Controller1.Axis4.value(),vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    rightMotorA.spin(vex::directionType::fwd,Controller1.Axis3.value() - Controller1.Axis1.value() - Controller1.Axis4.value(),vex::velocityUnits::pct);
    rightMotorB.spin(vex::directionType::fwd,Controller1.Axis3.value() + Controller1.Axis1.value() - Controller1.Axis4.value(),vex::velocityUnits::pct);
