Re: Team Update - 4/2/2013

In a nut shell;

The Talon reverses the output polarity to the motor every off period of the duty cycle.

The Talon SR simply "Brakes" during the off period of the duty cycle. This is type of rectification that the Jaguar uses.

This type of rectification produces less heat at the Talons input capacitor during stall.

It does not change the linearity or maximum output power. It does however produce significantly less heat during motor stall.
