The new Talon will auto detect whether you are connect to a can bus or a pwm source.
On FRC you only need two wires for PWMs (signal and ground) to an FRC legal motor controller because all FRC motor controllors ignore the center power pin (these are only used for servos)
You can wire the 2 CAN wires on the Talon SRX to PWM signal and ground and it will auto detect PWM.
CAN_H = PWM Signal
CAN_L = PWM Ground
The Victor SP (which has a 3-pin PWM) can only be used in PWM mode, no CAN available
Hope this helps,

Thanks, can you change PID values and configuration over CAN without a separate utility?
