Which 2 are solid? Are they on the same side or different sides?

Flashing orange means the Talon isn't getting any signal. Solid orange means the Talon is getting a signal, but it won't output anything since that signal is 0.

If it's flashing, it could be a code issue or a wiring issue. If it's solid, it's most likely a code issue, since the code has to be the one to send the Talon a signal of 0.

I don't think this is the issue, but replace your battery with a fully charged one just to be sure.

My bad, all three are now and changing the battery doesn't work either.

We really need pictures to help you. Somebody on your team must have an iphone with camera who would be willing to take a picture for you.

Anyway, the flashing orange light on the talon means the talon has power, but no signal. If you're using the code posted earlier, which is correct, and you followed joe's advice to remove all cables but the power one and confirmed that all three leds are lit, then you need to check your pwm cable. Is it plugged in the right way? Try flipping the connector. Is it plugged in all the way?

The solid orange light means that your code is wrong (make sure you copy what was posted) or your driver station isn't recognizing your joystick. Under the diagnostic tabs, what color does the joystick 1 indicator turn when you push a button?
