Hi, I am now working on a capstone project which requires the omnidirectional movement. And I kind wanna use this base(robotshop.com/omni-directional-mobile-robot-base.html). And I don’t have much time to develop the control code for the movement. Wondering if anyone have worked on similar robot before? How long usually it would take to develop such program?
You need to independently control three motors (two dual controllers with one channel unused or three single motor controllers). To move forward, you rotate two of the motors at the same speed in opposite directions (sort of pulling the robot forward) - the third wheel will “drag”. You can move in 3 directions (120 degrees apart) using this method. To turn, rotate all wheels in the same direction. This is basic motion.
