Warning

The CANdle Phoenix 5 API is deprecated and will be removed in 2027. Additionally, Talon FX, CANcoder, and Pigeon 2 now require Phoenix 6. Users are encouraged to migrate to the Phoenix 6 library for deprecated devices.

# Do I need to install any of this?

Yes, if any of the following:

- You need library support for:

    - CANifier

    - Pigeon IMU

    - Talon SRX

    - Victor SPX

- You need to field upgrade PCM, PDP, or any of the above devices

- You want to use Phoenix Tuner for CAN diagnostics (highly recommended)

Note

PCM and PDP objects are already supported in the base FRC installation. However, Phoenix Tuner is required for setting the device ID, field-upgrade, and Self-test Snapshot.

Important

Newer devices are supported through the Phoenix 6 library.
