Re: CAN Device ID for 2 motors same gearbox

You can't use the same CAN ID for two different Talon's. It doesn't work that way.
The Talon SRX has a slave mode used for this purpose.
You tell one Talon to follow another Talon (at a different CAN ID address). Usually this is for when an encoder is being used by one of the Talon's and you'd like the paired Talon to follow the lead of the Talon with the encoder.

It's just as easy to send both Talons the same motor commands if you are just sending them a %voltage.
