Go to Post The card system worked. Well. It was used properly and (except for when Paul yellow carded Andy during his "Thank you" speech) wasn't abused. I applaud the referees. Kudos. - Collin Fultz [more]

Re: Issues with the Talons

Not sure what language you are programming, in C++ we selected the Victor class when controlling the Talon. The lights would blink as you mention, so assumption was it was getting the PWM signal, but motor speed was erratic.

Discovered the problem, the Talons require a faster PWM update rate of 333Hz (user manual sec 13, page 14), whereas the Victor is a 50Hz update rate. Selecting the Talon class fixed the problem and all was good.
