Re: Struggling with LabView and Talon SRX CAN

I can't for the life of me figure out how to program them though. We used to just pick an Open 4 Motor and assign the PWMs and boom, we were done. I just can't figure this out. ANY help is appreciated. I read the Software Reference Manual for the Talon SRX, installed the special vi's, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

Thanks in advance.
1) You should really read the rules in the manual as they pertain to software development before Kickoff. (I don't know for sure if you'd be violating them, but it's possible.)
2) As was announced months ago on the FRC blog, third-party device code is out of WPILib starting this year. Read this: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...-talon-srx-can
