Re: Talon PWM Questions (Independent Project)

I'm working on a spinoff project from 1540, and we've been using a BeagleBone Black to great success. The only catch is that the BBB outputs 3.3 volts when the Talon wants 5, so you just have to run the signals through a cheap little level shifter to make it work. Not horribly hard, but I've been realizing just how easy FIRST makes it for Control Systems folks on FRC robots. They're really just 'plug 'n' go' compared to just about everything else out there. (mini-rant over)
