Talon SR vs SRX

[Chris_Ely]

Another option is the Victor SP. It is similar to the Talon SRX; both were jointly developed by Vex and Cross The Road Electronics. The Victor SP has a direct PWM input, but lacks the advanced capabilities associated with CAN that the Talon SRX has.

I think either Talon SRX or Victor SP are good drop in replacements for Talon SR.

All three use the same output frequency (15.625KHz).

All three support PWM, though the SRX/SP have a common default pwm cal (1ms,1.5ms,2ms) but that's easily fixed by calibrating your pwm signal to better match your Talon SR (assuming you also calibrate your SRs). Basically if you always calibrate your motor controls, they should be close enough.

All three perform synchronous rectification.

All three support brake/coast select.

(and keeping in mind that the Talon SRX doesn't support the fork connectors you might commonly use with the Talon SR)

What's a fork connector?

One more - they all three have a 4% deadband.

One of these, which gets attached to a Victor 884/888, Talon SR, or Jaguar via the included screw terminals. Since the Victor SP/Talon SRX this year have wires builtin, these connectors no longer readily connect to either motor controller.

I believe that's more commonly known as a spade lug.

The SRX also supports SPI, but I don't believe I've seen anywhere in the rules stating we can actually use it for motor control.

R59 says the Talon SRX must be controlled by CAN or PWM.

This is our teams first year to use Talons, in the past we have used Jaguars and Victors in combination. What are the major differences between Talons and Jaguars and Victors?
