Our Talon SRX encoder breakout board design
We didn't like the encoder breakout board offered by CTRE for the Talon SRX, so we made our own. It bolts on top of the Talon and has four 0.1" connectors. The encoder matches the AMT102 encoders, and the rest are standard 3 pin PWM connectors. The three holes make the lights and button accessible.

We made 20 boards as prototypes, and have a half dozen extras if anyone wants to try them out. They were made for us free of charge by Advanced Circuits in Colorado. Thanks, 4pcb.com!
