Re: REV Sparks or Vex Victor 888?
REV Spark
-Passive cooling
-Reduced heat generation
-Mechanical limit switch inputs, so no need to program that stuff
-RGB status LED, which I hear is really nice
-Brake/coast mode
-PWM only
-Currently priced at $45.00
-Available on Amazon and Amazon Prime
-Haven't been around long, so I can't speak to long-term reliability just yet
Victor 888
-A staple motor control, performs every basic function you could want
-No passive cooling; you need to wire up fans otherwise the motor controllers can overheat
-Really finnicky trying to get all the wires in the right place
-PWM only
-$70.00
-Discontinued by VEX; you would be hard pressed to find a lot of these
Victor SP
-Passive cooling
-Reliable
-You don't have to fiddle with screws trying to get crimps on the controller (this is a godsend)
-Sealed enclosure means aluminum shavings won't cause you any problems
-Colored wires make it easy to identify which wires go to the PDP and which wires go to the motor itself
-PWM only
-Low profile
-Currently priced at $60.00
Talon SRX
-CAN integration is awesome, especially with the new control system
-Onboard closed-loop PID algorithms (if you don't know that that means, look it up because it's cool)
-Cables are really strong
-Passive cooling
-Sealed enclosure
-Color-coded wires
-Very reliable
-Low profile
-Brake/coast calibration
-Plug and play support for CTRE Magnetic Encoder Sensor makes using the PID algorithms even easier
-PWM available as well as CAN
-$90.00
-My personal recommendation!
