Re: SRX Encoder not working

We have tried to send the values to SmartDashboard, and when we do they are continuously set to 0. We used a similar setup last year. Was something changed in the CANTalon classes? Also is there a better version of the CANTalon Javadocs? Becuase the one on the Cross The Road Website does not have detailed information on everything. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Can you specify the model of your breakout boards and encoders? It could very well be the same issue we had - lack of pullup resistors.
