Talon SR Help

[ozrien]

I'd expect a Talon SR and Victor SP to have very close response as long as you calibrate.

When your Talon SR is "not going in reverse" what are the Talon LEDs doing? Are they red (solid if 100% reverse, blinking if less than 100%).

Normally, I'd check these first. However, as OP believed that the problem was in the Talon, I recommended tests that would rule the talon in or out as the issue. If the issue is within the talon, the lights might give the expected results (red/green/blinking) if the problem is on the power amplifier/output side of the LED test point, and unexpected results (I won't speculate) if it is on the PWM/input side of the LED test point. In either case, if it's inside the Talon, it's beyond the capability of most FRC teams to repair.

correct. I thought that was obvious when I asked the question.
