Re: Talon SRX not working

Can you be a little more specific about what kind of plastic you took off the robot if you think that is the cause of your problems. Is it possible in doing so you bumped the roboRIO and dislodged something inside or something? Or maybe a setting on your laptop changed? Weird that the problem would affect both CAN and PWM if it's not software.

Re: Talon SRX not working

Our team spend 2 hours debugging an SRX problem last night with similar symptoms (our first year with CAN speed controllers...) I would suggest checking the CAN configuration page on the roborio web interface, and make sure that the "soft limits" are NOT enabled. As soon as we unchecked those, voila - it moved again! I don't know exactly how the soft limits work do but the motors didn't move at all; you could see the lights blinking in the pattern as if a limit switch was closed.
