Re: Talon SRX encoder breakout example

As far as I know there have not been any reported issues with the SRX ribbon cable. In fact we use the exact same cable on the Talon EOL(end of line) test.

Have you had any issues with this cable?...

Re: 2015 FRC Control System Components from VEXpro

This is a mistake in the pricing on the AM site. The correct price should be updated soon.

Re: Team Update - 4/2/2013

The behavior during the off period is to decay the fly-back/freewheeling current from the motor. Instead of redirecting the current back into the system like the Talon, the Talon SR simply connects...

Re: Team Update - 4/2/2013

Re: Team Update 2-19 and FRC Blog - Week 0 Observations and Stop Build Day
