Also, how do we know if the Talon SRXs are connected to each and working? Do they alternate orange?
Thanks once again.

Electrical tape is a bad idea, but you already knew that. There are many solutions here, use one of them. Also, while I believe this setup may work, I'm not sure it's you best option. Your best option is to connect the green of one to the green of another, like you see in the SRX manual. And yes, if they are properly connected but not enabled, they will alternate orange. They will alternate red if they cannot connect. Once enabled (and initialized in code), they will stay solid orange and then flash the color of the direct they are going, like the other motor controllers.
