Re: New Talon SRX and CAN with the 2015 Control System

I was just looking at a pile of Talon SRXs that we bought for this year's robot. Those green/yellow pigtails sure look like a nuisance to connect!

They want to be daisy chained, so an "in" and an "out" connector as male/female pairs make sense to use.

I'd love a standardized connector for CAN bus on these robots, but it looks like the folks at CTRE didn't think this was important.

Can we make one? I like those crimp terminals that go into Hirose, Molex, TE or whatever housings, but there are unfortunately about a hundred incompatible types out there.

Suggestions? How do you plan to connect Talon CAN wires to each other?
