Re: PID functionality on the Talon SRX?
PID (PIDF) on the Talon SRX is awesome! Now is the time to dive in on an off-season project to figure them out.

We used them for position and speed control this year. They delivered on the promise that the Jaguars couldn't. As GeeTwo said, they pass the data back to the roborio. The onboard loops are very tight, and wiring is really simplified using CAN. We taped over our DIO and AIO ports on the roborio, as we didn't need the FOD traps. The Talon SRX handled the switch IO for limits with the same breakout that we attached the encoder with.

I know that CTRE was working on some cool new expansion sensors for the SRX, which will just make them that much cooler. I don't want to get into those details, as they haven't announced new products yet. There is a lot of upside for this controller. You would do well to learn how to exploit its functionality now, way before build season.
