If we're talking the physical connection between the CIMcoder output and the Talon SRX, you're looking at either very carefully slicing up an SRX data cable to connect to the pins...or using a breakout board. The
official CTRE encoder breakout board is going to provide a much easier target for a soldering iron to hit, though there's also
MACH Engineering's universal breakout board that provides 0.1" pitch pins. If you can crimp connectors on the wires, that may be beneficial.
(Full disclosure of the probably obvious: I work at AndyMark, which sells both those boards, the CIMcoder, and the Talon SRX.)
