Re: Talon PWM Questions (Independent Project)

As far as I know, yes. In theory, anything that can produce a PWM signal can command a Talon. A quick look at the user guide says the Talon requires a signal of 1-2 ms with a neutral point of 1.5 ms as a default, but you can calibrate it to your different needs (I could not find anything about how often the pulse must be sent). In summary, if you have a controller that can produce a reliable signal, you should be fine.

Edit: I just found that the Talon expects the signal to be 333 Hz.
