Meccanum Wheel robot based on Ultimate 2 kit

#1

Hi, i just bought an additional encoder motor and the meccanum wheel kit. I would like to know how to control the 4 encoder motors based on the megaPi board included in the kit. I manage to control all 4 motors separately via the app, but that is not sufficient for a smooth movement. The best case would be control based on a gamepad, preferably a wireless xbox controller, via the USB host.

My questions: can I control the 4 motors smoothly via the app
Is me usb host working with the megapi board?
Can I connect a third-party wireless game controller via the USB host

Hi olaf_h,
“app”, do you mean the mBlock 3 software?
Me usb host works with MegaPi, but you have to write codes by yourself.
We are not sure whether it works with third party game controller or not, to be honest.
There is a quite old kit (meccanum wheel) which contains me usb host and a (black) 2.4G controller. I think Bluetooth module and Bluetooth module should be a good choice.
