Re: Detecting Talon motors on robo rio

If you open up a web browser and search " roborio-(TeamNumber).local " you will be able to see every CAN enabled device on your robot. If your PDP, or any other CAN device isn't showing up, that means there is a problem with your daisy chain. Once you correctly assign device numbers, open Labview, and add a "Motor Open", it does NOT need to be a CAN Talon SRX. Then, from the drop down menu, you will see all types of motors. Select the CAN Talon SRX, create a constant for the device number, and you should be good to go.

Also

detect

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
