It moves

Completed the last of the wiring so it was time to give the omni_bot a run the good news is it didn't tear itself apart all movement is in the correct sense. the drive motors don't have encoders at the moment so we just using PWM to control the speed. 30% PWM gives a good speed so I can use smaller motors that are cheaper. The joint state message error I had in the previous post was just a missing header in the message.

Problems

  • no reverse
  • need a way to reset motor controllers
  • insert a delay to allow the steering actuators complete moving before drive starts
