I have recently been trying to make the most compact odom for my vex override drivetrain and i have come to realise that linear odom is my best choice, does anyone have a linear odom cad that they can give me. Thanks!!
I’d recommend making one of your own, especially if all you want is a linear odometry template. If you’re in high school, you’ve likely learned about cosine and sine, and those two concepts can be used to create x and y coordinates on a plane. Thats really half the work for an odometry (I’m actually doing the same thing right now, so I was quite excited to see your post), the other half being a PID control loop. If you want, I’d be happy to share a few concepts I’ve learned with the tracking mechanism, and good luck!
Here is a video I found super helpful that visually breaks down the equations needed to track a robot’s motions using two tracking wheels that are perpendicular to each other and a gyro: Intro to Odometry in FTC | The Clueless #11212
I did some research and i have figured out how to do it thanks!!
No problem! Good luck!
Can I ask where you learnt to do it? Because I watched the video and read the documentation but still can’t figure out how to do odometry. (I am trying to do it with 2 perpendicular tracking wheels and an IMU)
