Need help, talon srx labview coding

[Coach Seb]

Cecil, I believe we do not have the termination resistor you are referring to. Is this an extra components to add to the CAN network ?

Termination resistors are present in a few control system components required on the robot. One such device is the RoboRIO, and the other is in the Power Distribution Panel. When wiring the CAN bus, it is a good practice to start the bus at the RoboRIO, add Talon SRX controllers and a Pneumatic Control Module (if required), then end the chain at the PDP. On the PDP itself, there is a small jumper that can set the termination resistor on or off, depending on if it is on the end of your CAN network.

Alex stated that he updated the firmware and assigned proper ids to the devices, this would indicate the can is wired, and working.

Seeing the current code is only working with one motor "arm", yet you have mulitples wired, can you check with the webpage, "Flash LED" and make sure your arm motor is wired to the srx you that is that you assigned for arm.

Were you able to check the begin.vi terminals?
