Re: New Talon Speed Controller

From the Talon User Manual "A Talon is a device used to control the rotational velocity (speed) of a brushed DC motor through modulating power over time. The Talon accomplishes this through an efficient form of rectification known as locked-antiphase rectification. This type of rectification returns current to the power source during the freewheeling period of the motor and during direction change."

From this quote and from what I perceived form talking to a guy from crosstheroadelectronics at IRI, I believe the Talon does have some regenerative capabilities. How they work and when they are active are two things I would love to have some clarification on.
