We now have a basic control of the robot with ROS (ros_serial and new_omni_ros.pde) it responds to cmd_vel and i can drive it in a triangle pattern ie straight for 3 seconds turn about 90 degrees then crab at a 45 degree angle and then repeat. I tried a crab and a rotate at the same time but the drive became unstable. Using the joy stick in ROS is also unstable. using ros_serial seems a bit unstable
Take 2 using new_omni_servo.pde and driver_test.py is more stable and still responds to the above commands but getting encoder values out of the arduino is still on working.
hardware problems that have crept in
steering drive sprockets sloppy
front steering driver to week
drive motors sill driving with 0 vel
need a external reset button for arduino
LED for servo power
move motor power LED so we can see it
steering need to be more snappy and accurate
