ok, so the platform im using is actually a stripped out heathkit hero 1 (I saved it from being totally parted out). it currently has a phenom x4 as the computer, where the sonar eyes were a stripped down kinect fits PERFECTLY, as for the driving mechanism it uses a stepper motor to control the front wheel and a DC motor is the driving motor, which also has an encoder attached to the wheel itself. Im using an arduino 328 chip to communicate with a parallax propeller as the sensing/control mechanism for driving

2012-08-13 07:30:21 -0500 asked a question Using Navigation stack with 3 wheeled robot

hey so im using a 3 wheeler platform, where the front wheel is used for driving and steering. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to using the ROS Navigation stack with a three wheeled robot; or if its even possible with that style of configuration? I know its mainly used for differential drive platforms.
