From what I could find, there is no way to toggle between standard 4 wheel steering, and crab walk steering. Basically... how do you create a toggle to reverse servo direction of just the rear steering? Thats what this does. It uses the switch on a standard traxxas controller to toggle between standard and crab walk.\n\n[Watch video demo on youtube](https://youtu.be/_udrgzlhfoo) or [find more info on my website](https://ryanberliner.com/gmade-r1-crab-walk-mod-servo-reversing).\n\n## What are the different programs?\n\n### crabtoggle.py\n\n**This is the main program** that you see running in the video. I've it set to start up on boot... so you just turn the car on and you can toggle between standard 4 wheel turning, and crab walking.\n\n### listen.py\n\nA test program that will (roughly) detect variations in a PWM signal\n\n### passthrough.py\n\nA test program that will listen to a PWM signal and control a servo. This basically is just a \"passthrough\" of the value... to an observer the behavior of the servo based on the remote control actions is the same as if there was no custom software running in the middle.\n\n### run.py\n\nA test program that allows you to enter duty cycle to test the limits of a servo.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fryanberliner%2Frc-car-controller","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fryanberliner%2Frc-car-controller","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fryanberliner%2Frc-car-controller/lists"}
