How to program Talon SRX Encoders?

Ok it look right now... but how would I program the motor to only go 'X' amount of rpm.

Paragraph 10.3 of the Software Reference Manual, available for download at the manufacturer's website.

Thanks Ether for that great refernce but what they show what to do goes against what others and the frc tutorial shows. If I am correct then I would need to define and encoder in my code which the CTR manual doesn't.

First let me make sure about some things I am assuming but which you have not explicitly stated.

You are using TalonSRX motor controller, yes?

Your encoder is wired to the TalonSRX (not the roboRIO), yes?

You are using CAN (not PWM) to command the TalonSRX, yes?

If so, refer to paragraph 3.2 in the Software Reference Manual

I believe you can set the number of counts per revolution if that's what you're looking for. just use

motor.configEncoderCodesPerRev(insert desired counts per rev)

I beileve I have figured it out last night when I was working if not I will be back with questions. Thanks

In the meantime, would you please answer the questions in my previous post, and also tell us what you figured out.
