Re: Talon sr, or SRX?

We have 9 SRXs on our bot this year. No complaints yet except our software team commented on some wonky embeded PID loop software, but they got it working.

All nine are on CAN. We crimped PWM cable headers to each end, one male and one female so that the chain has a single direction that can't be messed up. A small ziptie where the middle wire is missing keeps em together.

We also have sensor input directly into three of them (limits and an analog absolute encoder). Using a few free 10pin cables from Samtec we just made some custom adapters depending on what the sensor is. All in all, we're very happy.
