CAN Help

[BradAMiller]

There are two CAN Talon SRX sample programs included with the plugins that you should look at. One, "CAN Talon SRX" does a simple voltage controlled example. The other more interesting sample, "CAN Talon SRX PID" uses PID control in the Talon to control a motor from a potentiometer input that you might use, for example, to make an elevator that would lift game objects to a particular level.

To get those samples from Eclipse, select New Project..., then "Example Robot C++ Project", then choose one of the two samples described above.

These are both very simplified programs to show the basics of using the Talon SRXs and not how you might write a complete much more complex program. There are a bunch of other samples and ScreenSteps documentation to help with that.
