Using Encoders with TalonSRX

[Chaube97]

Ohhh. Our encoder is the E4P-250-250-D-D-D-B. I don't know the CPR, is it 250? If we set the speed to 500, the encoder reads a velocity of 300.

Yes.

What value is the Talon reporting for the setpoint-process_variable error?

Thanks! How many rotations would the encoder have then? I don't know where to find the setpoint-process_variable error, but the ClosedLoopError variable in the self-test section is 200. The motor not going 500 is probably a result of me messing with the PID variables. I was changing the P variable around to see the ocsillation and other things. The motor goes a velocity of 300 when my P = 1.5, and my I and D equal 0.
