Talon SRX is not connecting

Technical Java
1

we are having an issue with connecting one of our talon SRX despite all of the other ones working and the wiring being solid. we have tried doing several updates on the phoenix tuner and have quadruple checked that our ctre software is up to date. the motors are daisy chained but the rest of them work. Here is a link to our GitHub to check out the code: https://github.com/FRC-4750-Bishop-Eustace/Bert-X.git

Which Talon SRX is it? And does it not appear in Phoenix Tuner? What are the lights on the said controller?

It does appear in the Phoenix tuner, it is the rightBack motor controller, and when enable the it blinks orange and when we are driving it stays a solid orange light

What exactly is the issue with the motor connection then? Seems generally fine, although you may want to double check the ID in code.

We arent sure what the error is we have been getting the error 103 that the ctre vers could not be found but the error flashes and doesnt stay consistently in the console log. we were hoping some new eyes would be able to help find the bug. The next thing we are going to try is switching up our daisy chain order. Thank you so much for taking a look at this though!

Solid orange would suggest it’s being driven to ‘0’.

So, I wouldn’t see it as not connecting.

I would suggest the following though:

  1. Factory default the talon with each new drivetrain instantiation
  2. Do all the configuration of the drivetrain talons in the constructor
  3. Set one of the CAN IDs as the leader on each side, and then set the other CAN ID on the same side to follow the leader.
  4. Pass only the leader from each side into the DifferentialDrive, rather than a motor controller group
