Re: Encoder Breakout Sending signal from fwd limit switch

The obvious (though impractical) solution is to use a double pole limit switch. Check out the "slave" mode that can be used for Talon SRXs operated by CAN. There may be an option that lets one slave to the other running in the reverse direction. Alternately, you may have to use the cRIO to monitor the limit switch on one and send the signal to the other.
