Hello everyone,
With the Talon SRX coming around and the 2015 control system being a lot more CAN-friendly, my team is thinking of making the switch to a CAN control system. This will only be our third year as a team, and we have zero experience with the jaguars, though from looking around, it seems that the biggest issue with them were loose connectors (which should not be a problem with the SRX) and low voltage-induced brownouts. That being said, here are some questions I have:
- Does anyone know if the Talon SRX will be as prone to brownouts as the jags seem to be?
- Is there ever a noticible lagtime from one end of the CAN bus to the other? With possibly 10 encoder-enabled Talons, a pneumatics module, and a PDB all operating on CAN this year, is the interface able to handle such a load?
- Are there any other issues that might be problematic this year?
As you can tell, I am a complete CAN novice, and I apologize for that. But thanks for any help!
