Re: Talon SR speed control recieving power, not outputting power

If the Talon LED is solid orange, then the Talon is getting a healthy PWM signal from the RIO with a neutral value. That means you are likely creating the Talon object correctly, but not giving it a nonzero value in the set() routine.

You can try deploying a simple java app that just sets the value to a fixed constant, for example: myTalon.set(0.10) for 10% and see what happens.

You can post your code like Jalerre suggested.

Or trying using the debugger to peek at the value being passed to the Talon.
