What wire gauge and twist count is used for the CAN wires on the Talon SRX?

Used, or recommended by the developer?

While beta testing, our team used 20 AWG green and yellow purchased on separate spools (e.g., McMaster 8054T14) and twisted pairs ourselves with a vise and drill, to about 20 twists per foot. So far no issues. We twisted to get good handling/routing, not to solve an EMI problem.

Thanks for the information!

If the recommended wire and wire that is used are different, I would like to know both. I am assuming that that VEX Pro / CTRE would use the wire what they recommend; but, I can understand why they may be different.

We've still got one more thing for 2015 - the Ball Shifter Shaft v2 is now available.

Now, if you would just get 2 CIM ball shifters in stock...

The 3 stage 2 CIM ballshifters are back in stock (217-2615) the 2 stage ones will be back in early next week, several factors out of my control have been delaying shifters in general, wrapping them up.

The wire spec is 20AWG per the drawing on the site, the twist spec we use is 1 revolution per 14-21mm.

That answers my question. Thanks

[Progene]

The drawing on the Vexpro.com site shows the CAN wire as 22AWG as opposed to 20AWG. Is the spec different on different drawings by chance?

The 22AWG drawing is located here - http://content.vexrobotics.com/vexpr...g-20150120.PDF

We just want to be sure of the correct wire gauge.

[ozrien]

The SRX uses 22 AWG.

[Progene]

Awesome, thanks!

I hate to resurrect this thread, but is there going to be a new product launch this year?

I have been wondering the same thing.
