Hi Everyone,
I am wanting to make a skid steer/tank drive vehicle large enough for one person. I was thinking of using a skateboard motor on each side. I am not too sure how to make the controls work though. I am wanting it to be controlled by a single joystick and found this article that does a pretty good job of explaining the logic. https://home.kendra.com/mauser/joystick.html
I thought I could use separate motor controllers for each side, connected to an arduino to translate the joystick position to speed commands for each side. Does that make sense?
I am wondering if there is anything out there like this already? I can manage to tweak existing code, but I am not great at creating from scratch. Any tips or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JD
