Creeping and twitching. Sounds like me after too much sugar.

Have you changed the calibration on your talons at all? I have no experience with talons at all, but i have plenty with victors. Someone was calibrating a drivetrain to stop creeping, but did it wrong. The victor now only knew full front and full reverse. But your problem is not that extreme.

Also, make sure your joysticks are centered when they are first plugged in, and the driver station loads. Otherwise whatever position they were in when they were plugged in will be the new origin.

You could also program in a deadzone function to set values between -.01 and .01 to = 0. for both axes, and a function to set a new origin (rezero).
