Running the Labview Example CAN Talon Code

[btcshields6]

Okay. When I first had trouble with this example, I used a multimeter to check the resistance of each wire, confirming that we fused the wires correctly. Also, when the encoder is plugged in, the LED lights up.

I suppose that the encoder is most likely damaged. The LED may light up anyway.

I'll check the counts for A and B tomorrow.

So those Versa Planetary Integrated Encoders came in a few days ago. I hooked them up and tried them out using this same example (I opened the block diagram and made sure to change the encoder type to the correct one). I didn't have to fuse any wires, since the SRX Cables plug directly into the Integrated Encoders.

As with the E4Ps, the speed can be heard and seen to change, but actual speed does not change on the graph. Also, the LED on the encoder is yellow, as the manual states it should be during normal operation. I don't know why there would be an issue with these.

Thank you.
