Indication: Both LEDs quickly blink red then off.
First one LED blinks red, followed immediately by the other,
then finally both LEDs are off for a small period of time.
Problem: Limit Switch or Soft Limit Activated
Possible Solutions:
1) The most likely cause is a limit switch or soft limit fault. Test each limit switch by opening &
closing it manually.
2) Use the roboRIO Web-based Configuration page to retrieve information over CAN bus
about the Limit Switch state. See Software Reference Manual for more information.
3) The roboRIO Web-based Configuration page can set soft limits over CAN bus. The soft
limits will be applicable with CAN control.
Indication: Both LEDs slowly alternate between orange and off.
Problem: CAN bus detected but the Talon SRX is disabled or not being addressed over CAN.
Possible Solution:
Use the roboRIO Web-based Configuration page to retrieve information over CAN bus about
the fault. Most likely the device ID of that Talon is not being used. There must be an Open
Motor (LabVIEW ®) or constructed CANTalon (C++/Java) with that device ID.
This can also be confirmed by doing a Self-Test in the roboRIO Web-based Configuration. If
the “TALON IS NOT ENABLED!” message appears even though the robot is enabled, then
recheck the device IDs in the robot application.
Indication: Flashing RED Status LEDs after calibration.
Problem: Calibration Failed.
Possible Solutions:
1. Inadequate travel in either the forward or reverse direction. Repeat the calibration
procedure and move the joystick further forward and/or further reverse.
2. The joystick trim is not centered. Neutral cannot be extremely far from center.
