Purpose

Easily implement a Holonomic style drive for a mobile robot that uses 4 omnidirectional drive wheels.

When to use

If you have a Holonomic styled drive system configuration, where a signal controls forward/backward motion, another controls left/right motion and another one controls the rotation.

Where to use

In the void loop() part of your .ino file, since it’s a one time calculation that needs to be re-executed at short intervals.

This function requires the use of the following functions at some point of your .ino file in order to work properly:

Returns

This function does not return a value once it has completed its tasks.

Main prototype and parameters

static void CrcLib::MoveHolonomic(int8_t forwardChannel, int8_t yawChannel, int8_t strafeChannel, unsigned char frontLeftMotor, unsigned char backLeftMotor, unsigned char frontRightMotor, unsigned char backRightMotor)

The following parameters must be passed to the function for it to work properly:

forwardChannel: The speed value used to control the forward/backward motion. Must be of the type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].
yawChannel: The speed value used to control left/right motion. Must be of the type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].
strafeChannel: The speed value used to control the rotative motion. Must be of the type int8_t (also called signed char), so ranging [-128, 127].
frontLeftMotor: The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the front left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
backLeftMotor:The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the back left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
frontRightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the front right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
backLeftMotor:The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the back right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

Overloads

#1: Directly using remote controller joystick values

static void CrcLib::MoveHolonomic(ANALOG forwardChannel, ANALOG yawChannel, ANALOG strafeChannel, unsigned char frontLeftMotor, unsigned char backLeftMotor, unsigned char frontRightMotor, unsigned char backRightMotor)

The following parameters must be passed to the function for it to work properly:

forwardChannel: The speed value used to control the forward motion. Must be of the type ANALOG.
yawChannel: The speed value used to control left/right motion. Must be of the type ANALOG.
strafeChannel: The speed value used to control rotative motion. Must be of the type ANALOG.
frontLeftMotor: The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the front left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
backLeftMotor:The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the back left motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
frontRightMotor: The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the front right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.
backRightMotor:The name of the PWM pin to which is connected the back right motor. Must be of the type unsigned char.

Examples

#include <CrcLib.h>

void setup() {
    CrcLib::Initialize();

    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_1);
    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_2);
    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_3);
    CrcLib::InitializePwmOutput(CRC_PWM_4);
    
    /* 
    The rest of your setup code
    ...
     */
}
void loop() {
    CrcLib::Update();

    CrcLib::MoveHolonomic(ANALOG::JOYSTICK1_Y, ANALOG::JOYSTICK1_X, ANALOG::JOYSTICK2_X, CRC_PWM_1, CRC_PWM_2, CRC_PWM_3, CRC_PWM_4);
    
    /* 
    The rest of your looping code
    ...
    */
}
