How to use the Talon SRX API is outlined in the Software Reference Manual. The API docs for the entire CTRLib (javadocs and doxygen for C++) are included in the latest install and can also be found on our website for Java and C++.

Can I ask what "tutorial" you guys were using? For the non-installer zip, we consider the README it contains to be the official instructions, and it says:

Quote:
Take the folder for your desired language (java or cpp) and place it into the wpilib user folder.
It then proceeds to give an example of the Linux path and more detailed information about the files contained. Is there another set of instructions you were following? I just want to make sure we don't have conflicting instructions somewhere.

This might seem trivial, but have you restarted Eclipse? It puts external libraries into the path when you first open it.
