My bad, I normally would have looked at that but I was in a bit of a hurry. That might explain the post being removed.

mecanumDrive_Cartesian() shouldn't have any issues with the Talon SR or Talon SRX. Issues with the method and CAN Jaguars were reported. |
OK, so it supports the functionality but does not simply have a direct PWM jack like the SR. That's good to know, thank you. I'll look into these modifications and see if we want to move forward with that.
If not, would other controllers like Jaguars be able to be subbed in instead? If so, what would I need to do in code to allow this? If not, should I look into buying used SRs or just rely on FRC Pit Admin spares? It's a serious bummer (and odd decision IMO) that FIRST shipped a discontinued product in the KOP. I understand finding a use for old stock, but really, come on...
I'm using LabVIEW by the way. I'm going to look into using Java (or C++) later on.
