Mixed mode RC

Post by delchrys »

Hi,

I've build a rover based on wild thumper platform...
Any chance I can trim the output? My rover shifts to the right a bit when driving forward....
I'm using rc mode by arduino with mixed mode activated....
So I'm just sending microseconds values to the s1 and s2.
Also tried to figure out what's happening and have marked all my four wheels to see which turns faster.... Maybe I need to switch some motors from positions because the two slowest motors are on the right side of the rover.

BTW I'm not using encoders

You need to adjust it in your arduino code(left/right value). The Roboclaw does not have any trim functions. Normally RC mode is used with RC radios which have built in trim already.

If you are using an arduino we recommend using packet serial, not RC.
