Re: Low-cost Talon SRX computer?

Omar, if we're not married to the idea of using Talons...
There is a 'P' Gadgeteer port that is PWM-hardware capable so anything is possible, but it is not supported in software yet. The priority for HERO is to better support Talon SRX, but in future I'm sure it will branch out to other things as we add more peripheral software support (I personally can't wait to see an IoT application).

How difficult would it be to get Jaguars working through Hero on the CanBus?
That's a interesting question, the CAN driver API in HERO is very similar to the CAN driver API we [NI/CTRE/WPILIB/FIRST] hashed out for RIO. So I bet a smart student/mentor could port over the CANJaguar java class to C#, and just replace the RIO CAN calls with HERO CAN calls. Java would be best as it is closest to C#.

BUT you must put the nonFRC firmware into the Jags. That will require using BDC-COMM (and possible a serial connection). Or 2CAN if you have one lying around
