Re: Mind SensorMotor Controller for FRC

Both this and the new Spark controller look like they can be used as a direct replacement for Talon SR with no change in programming (though there may be another class in the libraries). Each also supports both normally open and normally closed limit switches connected to the controller. Note that this information is NOT available to the RIO unless you also send it back to a DIO line. Neither supports CAN, encoders, nor potentiometers. As far as I can see with a casual reading of the specs, these two are functionally equivalent; the decision for one over the other will be based on quality, form factor, availability, and cost.
