Re: Talon SRX spamming forward and backward constantly

We are having very similar problems with our drive system. We are running Talon SRX's using CAN and mechanum drive using C++ IterativeRobot. We have some motors not turning and others spin slowly in the wrong direction while other motors are running at full speed. We are also seeing some CAN errors from the PDB not responding on the DriverStation messages.

The Talons all have unique CAN IDs and have had a firmware update (from memory, I think they're running version 1.4). Same with the PDB (I think it's firmware level is 1.37). We are driving the motors using the RobotDrive.

2539: If you figure this out, please post your solution. I was going to try increasing the control period on the CANTalon's, but I'm not confident this will work.

Thanks
