Re: [C++] Use CAN Talons in RobotDrive

I updated all the Talons to 1.4 (the newest I think) and we're trying to use CAN instead of PWM. Using PWM would involve soldering the CAN wires which we don't want to do just yet.

I actually did do this earlier, but I had no idea what is means. When in drive, they are set to "No Drive" but otherwise set to "Throttle." This seems like it could be the problem if I knew more about it.

Motors are not doing anything at all, but works fine when not using RobotDrive.
