You need to use the web interface of the RoboRIO to change the CAN ID of each CAN Talon. You need to do this just once and the ID is saved in non-volatile memory in the controller.
This was exactly what I needed to finally understand CAN. Thanks to MikeTS for your response and your code samples! We are using a mechanum drive this year so your code especially for that was extremely helpful!
