Test Mecanum Drive #65

Closed calvin-godfrey closed 9 years ago

CarlyAmar commented 9 years ago

So Ahmad's branch didnt work. I was working on it earlier, I'll try to get some done before the meeting, Ahmads Command Branch would time out the motor safety and then I made an iterative robot implementation that would not properly drive (but it did drive!)

Okay! This warrants digging into the wpilib code to investigate. Thanks

This has been completed with the Kitbot using TalonSR, but I want to try it with CANTalonSRX and using Commands. I did my test Iterative-Style. The Iterative-Style version is now in the kitbot branch, but we should make it into a command. READ THE COMMENTS!!! some important stuff we discovered is in there

Are you doing this during the week or is this something happening this weekend?

CarlyAmar commented 9 years ago

Right now we are doing it with the Talon SRX. Almost got it working

It seems to be working fine, excepting a few wheels that fell off courtesy of mechanical. The wheels have a fairly large degree of slippage, which we will probably have to compensate for with sensors during autonomous.

CarlyAmar commented 9 years ago

Except when it crashes almost every time

calvin-godfrey commented 9 years ago

Page 34-35 here has some sample code to drive in a straight line even if it gets bumped left/right.

CDietzel commented 9 years ago

Has any progress on this been made?

calvin-godfrey commented 9 years ago

No progress on accounting for slippage that I know of.

CDietzel commented 9 years ago

Its good enough that it is no longer a priority. When we implement encoder based movement, this should pretty much end up as a part of that. Closing this.
