The "PWM" signal into an FRC speed controller is actually a "hobby servo" signal. It's nominally a pulse width of 1 ms for full reverse, 1.5 ms for neutral, and 2 ms for full forward; the pulse repeats every 5 to 20 ms. If you provide that, the Talon should work just fine.

Reading sensor inputs on a Talon SRX is not going to be straightforward. I would expect it to be far beyond the scope of your project.
