Hello,
I recently 3d printed some mecanum wheels and now i'm waiting for stepper motors.
My question is how to get the speed from the Twist message (linear.x , linear.y, angular.z) provided by move_base and transform into appropriate motor speeds. The setup is the normal square one (the extended lines from the rollers need to converge on the centre of the robot)
Thank you!!!
You need to implement inverse kinematics for mecanum wheels. A quick google gave me: https://www.scirp.org/Html/6-7900244_... or even this one: http://robotsforroboticists.com/drive...
very helpfull what i needed, actually i think i need to implement only forward kinematics, inverse kinematics might be usefull for getting odometry although some guess work might be needed since the steppers are open-loop but still quite accurate. I will study the links and upload my rosserial arduino code (or Jetson nano gpio code ) with the a4988 drivers here!! Thanks!!
I think the terminology in the second link may be mixed up ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward...

You put omni-wheel in the tags. But you mean mecanum-wheel, right?
yes sorry about that!
