where you actually meet Talon FX / SRX
Talon FX is the controller living inside a Falcon or Kraken; Talon SRX is the standalone one you bolt on for brushed motors like a window motor or an older CIM. You meet both through Phoenix Tuner — assigning CAN IDs, updating firmware, and checking a device's status the moment the driver station reports it has vanished from the bus.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
