Re: Drive Train Curves Only While Backing Up

I just wanted to update this and thank you all for your help. Calibrating each of the individual talons fixed this issue (or at least made the curve very hard to notice). I hope that if anyone else has this issue they see this thread and don't have to go through what we did, lol.

YES! Always connect the red wire to M+ and the black wire to M-. Exceptions can be deadly; unnecessary exceptions are criminal. Invert in code.
