Class StrictFollower
Follow the motor output of another Talon while ignoring the leader's invert setting.
If Talon is in torque control, the torque is copied - which will increase the total torque applied. If Talon is in duty cycle output control, the duty cycle is matched. If Talon is in voltage output control, the motor voltage is matched. Motor direction is strictly determined by the configured invert and not the leader. If you want motor direction to match or oppose the leader, use Follower instead. The leader must enable the status signal corresponding to its control output type (DutyCycle, MotorVoltage, TorqueCurrent). The update rate of the status signal determines the update rate of the follower's output and should be no slower than 20 Hz.public sealed class StrictFollower : ControlRequest, ICloneable

Parameters

Fields
LeaderID
Device ID of the leader to follow.
public int LeaderID
Field Value
UpdateFreqHz
The frequency at which this control will update. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms). Some update frequencies are not supported and will be promoted up to the next highest supported frequency.
If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition. In this case, we recommend not exceeding 50 ms between control calls.public double UpdateFreqHz

Provides the string representation of this object.
public override string ToString()
Returns
WithLeaderID(int)
Modifies this Control Request's LeaderID parameter and returns itself for method-chaining and easier to use request API.

WithUpdateFreqHz(double)
Sets the frequency at which this control will update. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms). Some update frequencies are not supported and will be promoted up to the next highest supported frequency.
If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition.
