Re: Talon SRX in Position Mode Won't keep zero

What do you mean by it resetting itself to zero? Is there a fixed location in the revolution at which when passing through will clear the position to zero? If so since you are using the SRX Mag encoder and I have read this sensor can be used in absolute or relative mode. In absolute mode, it will reset the reading back to zero when wrapped around. Could it be what you have observed is a behavior of absolute mode?
