Nope, just like every other motor controller in FRC, the range is -1.0 to 1.0. Again, when I comment those four lines out it works perfectly with all it's sweet features. The talon SRX is a really amazing piece of electronics.

Did you by chance set the limits to normally closed at some point and leave them that way? Check the status using the web interface and see if something looks goofy. What revision of the firmware is on the Talons?
I'll get back to you this afternoon at around 4:45 once I get to our shop. Is there any specific setting that they have to be at? We're not wiring a limit switch in so I really haven't bothered with the NO or NC options in the web interface. Fingers crossed that that's it!

Also, would you mind posting your applicable code? Just so I can see if perhaps I'm missing some basic issue?
