Re: CIM motors vibrate/jitter

The LED indication you describe is the Talon responding to a command that takes it in and out of the 4% of deadband condition. Something is commanding the Talons to do that. The Flashing orange is the indication that your are close to the deadband condition and the flashing red is an indication that a throttle command has been sent to the Talon. The LED flashes Red or
Green in proportion to the throttle command sent to the controller.
