Re: Programming website

Thanks for the link, but I have actually already seen it. The problem isn't so much figuring out how to talk on the CAN bus, but figuring out how to properly talk to the TALON SRX. As I said, in researching the topic (I had hoped I could find someone who had already done it) I discovered that the FRC TALONs use an encrypted keep-alive signal that is impossible to reproduce outside the FRC framework. Fortunately, the TALON manufacture provides alternate firmware that you can flash the TALONs with that gets around this problem. However I looked at the FRC source code for handling the TALONs and it is quite involved and I simply have not had the time to try and sort it out.
