Re: Spark Motor Controller vs. Victor SP
I have not seen this mentioned anywhere but another feature unique to the Talon SR/SRX and Victor SP is the smart LED. The led will blink at a rate proportional to duty cycle. A faster blink rate means you are approaching full throttle. I find this feature very useful when trouble shooting control loops without the motor being connected.
