Re: Talon SRX Magnetic Encoder Cable Issues

We had a similar issue during build season, but our problem was actually the encoder values. The noise from the flywheel motors + the noise from the turret motor + the length of the cable made the signal very noisy, which gave us lots of problems. We were able to find this issue by connecting the signal to an oscilloscope and seeing the waveforms as we ramped the flywheel power. To fix this, we shielded the cable and made a very simple RC filter to take out the noise.

Do you have any pictures of the setup?
