Re: [FRC Blog] 2017 Motor (and Servo?) Controllers and MXP

Agreed. The DMC60 apears to just be a Victor SP clone that costs $10 more. The SD540C is intriguing though, having CAN for only $50. I'm not sure it provides much of an advantage over the SPARK still though, unless you want to use more than 10.
Edit: I just noticed that the blog post notes "closed loop features" but the product page just mentions limit switches, which are on the SD540/B, as well as the SPARK. If it does have PID control features it's pretty much game over for the SRX.

The REV servo controller seems interesting, although I can't seem to find it on REV's site. If it's just a single thing for a servo, it might not be worth it, (and one could probably inject more power into the PWM wires by splicing) but if it has multiple ports, it could be cool to have if you had a lot of servos.
