Re: Jaguar vs. victor vs. talon speed controllers

Again, use search....

The gist is that Jaguars are the bulkiest (almost to the point of being unsuitable this year) but the most capable and flexible of the three. They can accept both PWM and CAN input and can use sensors such as limit switches, pots, and encoders directly. The Talon and Victor are PWM only, and so neither of them are capable of those functions. Talons are the smallest of the three, and they have a virtually identical response curve to the Jaguar, but they're still fairly new and "untested" so to speak. Victors have the worst response curves (even using the 888), and they're larger than the Talon, but they're $10 cheaper and they've proven themselves as extremely reliable.
