So if you're trying to enable closed-loop (speed for example) and it's not working to your expectations, use the Self-Test in
Section 2.4 of the Talon SRX Software Reference Manual to check the signals that reflect what the closed-loop is doing, what the sensor position is, which mode the talon is in, what the applied throttle is, etc... This is also mentioned in
Section 11.2
The Web-based config also will confirm your gain values which could explain why the closed-loop wasn't meeting your expectations. Or it might not, it's too hard to guess what this means...

What was the motor doing when you were in the
speed control mode? Describing what it was doing might help us explain what's going on.
Before you start closed-looping, please select the correct sensor following the steps in
section 7. I know you're using Py, but the functions are very similar. Please follow the instructions in
Section 7.4 to sign your sensor in a fashion where positive motor drive causes the sensor to move in a positive direction.
