Re: Talon SRX limit switches - incorrect operation.

The simplest cause would be if the two limit switch signal lines are being intermittently shorted to each other. In addition to swapping out the talon as suggested in the previous post, I would try swapping out the cable, all the way from the tiny pitch connector on the talon to the limit switches. If the talon lights visibly flicker, it might also be interesting to disconnect the motors from the talons to see if the problem goes away when you remove the motor vibration and drop in battery voltage.
