Re: New Talon Speed Controller

We'll be receiving a number of Talons and will be testing them alongside our Labview beta testing. It's an extremely exciting product. Active cooling isn't needed. It's got a conformal coating so it's got all the debris protection of the old victors. The higher switching frequency should give a linear response on the order of a Jaguar.

I'm a curious about their PWM input rate though. We know that a standard victor is around 17ms. A Jag is somewhere in the ballpark of 5ms.

What does .9 - 2ms @ 50hz mean? Does that mean it will respond in .9-2ms, but only accepts a change in input at a maximum of 50hz (meaning that the actual best response is 20ms)?
