Talon SRX Controller:

The Talon SRX is a smart motor controller that can be interfaced with over the CAN bus or PWM. If you are planning on using Talons, read the manuals refenced below.

Each Talon SRX must be assigned a unique CAN bus ID ranging from 0 to 62 (63 is reserved for broadcast).
To quote the manual: "..there is no harm in having a Pneumatics Control Module (PCM) and a Talon SRXboth with device ID ‘0’. However,having two Talon SRXs with device ID ‘0’ will be problematic"
Use the Phoenix Tuner for Talon SRX device management.
