The regular Open 2/4 Motor vis still have a drop down to select Talon SRX and use them via PWM.

Thanks for the reply, since I started 3 years ago we haven't used any PWM. The single ring topology has been nice, and worked extremely well for us. It also mirrors what I use in industry.

Is there no way to emulate the open 2 / 4 motors with the functionality we have had in the past, aside from writing it ourselves? I don't have the FRC suite on my computer here so I haven't looked at it too deep yet.

I understand the decoupling of the two libraries, but I really thought once we installed the new package from CTRE it would at the CAN talon SRX to the polymorphic VI.
