Detailed Description

A class for driving Mecanum drive platforms.

Mecanum drives are rectangular with one wheel on each corner. Each wheel has rollers toed in 45 degrees toward the front or back. When looking at the wheels from the top, the roller axles should form an X across the robot.

/       \

Each Drive() function provides different inverse kinematic relations for a Mecanum drive robot.

This library uses the NWU axes convention (North-West-Up as external reference in the world frame). The positive X axis points ahead, the positive Y axis points to the left, and the positive Z axis points up. Rotations follow the right-hand rule, so counterclockwise rotation around the Z axis is positive.

Note: the axis conventions used in this class differ from DifferentialDrive. This may change in a future year's WPILib release.

Inputs smaller then 0.02 will be set to 0, and larger values will be scaled so that the full range is still used. This deadband value can be changed with SetDeadband().

MotorSafety is enabled by default. The DriveCartesian or DrivePolar methods should be called periodically to avoid Motor Safety timeouts.

◆ MecanumDrive() [1/2]

frc::MecanumDrive::MecanumDrive ( MotorController frontLeftMotor,

Member Function Documentation

◆ DriveCartesian()

void frc::MecanumDrive::DriveCartesian ( double  xSpeed,
double  ySpeed,
double  zRotation,
Rotation2d  gyroAngle = 0_rad 
)

Drive method for Mecanum platform.

Angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive X axis. The robot's speed is independent from its angle or rotation rate.

Parameters
xSpeedThe robot's speed along the X axis [-1.0..1.0]. Forward is positive.
ySpeedThe robot's speed along the Y axis [-1.0..1.0]. Left is positive.
zRotationThe robot's rotation rate around the Z axis [-1.0..1.0]. Counterclockwise is positive.
gyroAngleThe gyro heading around the Z axis. Use this to implement field-oriented controls.

◆ DriveCartesianIK()

static WheelSpeeds frc::MecanumDrive::DriveCartesianIK ( double  xSpeed,
double  ySpeed,
double  zRotation,
Rotation2d  gyroAngle = 0_rad 
)
static

Cartesian inverse kinematics for Mecanum platform.

Angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive X axis. The robot's speed is independent from its angle or rotation rate.

Parameters
xSpeedThe robot's speed along the X axis [-1.0..1.0]. Forward is positive.
ySpeedThe robot's speed along the Y axis [-1.0..1.0]. Left is positive.
zRotationThe robot's rotation rate around the Z axis [-1.0..1.0]. Counterclockwise is positive.
gyroAngleThe gyro heading around the Z axis. Use this to implement field-oriented controls.
Returns
Wheel speeds [-1.0..1.0].

◆ DrivePolar()

void frc::MecanumDrive::DrivePolar ( double  magnitude,
Rotation2d  angle,
double  zRotation 
)

Drive method for Mecanum platform.

Angles are measured counterclockwise from the positive X axis. The robot's speed is independent from its angle or rotation rate.

Parameters
magnitudeThe robot's speed at a given angle [-1.0..1.0]. Forward is positive.
angleThe angle around the Z axis at which the robot drives.
zRotationThe robot's rotation rate around the Z axis [-1.0..1.0]. Counterclockwise is positive.

◆ GetDescription()
