Independent Motor Control


#1

Is there a way to independently drive two motors attached to the same mCore board. Right now it gives one joystick which will interpret the movement of the robot and automatically adjust the two motors for turning. We’re looking for the ability to have two throttles, one for each motor. This will give us finer control over turns and maneuvering.

Is there anything we can do?

If you are using mBlock, there is a motor block that allows you to control an individual motor. If your intention is to run the mBot like a tank from two joysticks, you will likely need to work out the code to read the game controller joysticks (guessing here because that is what it typically used) and use those inputs to control each motor. Just a quick thought from the coffee shop. :slight_smile:
