Thanks both of you, all this information is very helpful

I believe our programming lead did look into running the encoders through the Talons directly, but she has been having some issues getting the web interface to actually come up for some reason (not sure if it's an issue with our computer, the CAN setup, or something else).

Programming is a bit outside of my area and my Labview is a bit rusty, but it seems like I may have to force myself to re-learn it to finally figure these things out, since our programmers have been unable to for the last 6 months.
