PrintA common request this year for programmers is to turn down the sensitivity of the drive motors so that the drivers can maintain traction easier. In an effort to learn LabVIEW, I have tried several different methods, which I share in the attached document. Not all of these methods are “good”, but they are enumerated for completeness. Please note that I am a novice LabVIEW programmer, so please feel free to correct/modify/add-to this article and its attached document. Also, if you find a new method, please contribute it!
The methods described in the attached document are:
Coercion – “How do I make the motor never go faster than X?”
Linear Map – “How do I rescale the Joystick?”
Selectable Map – “How do I toggle my scaling?
Slew Rate – “How do I limit the rate of change?”
Low Pass Filtering – “How do I do this with more awesome?”
