Re: SD540 and DMC60 motor controllers - How do they stack up?
If I recall, VEX and CTRE did their own objective testing and analysis of the SD540 controller, found it to be far inferior in many ways, numerous people on Chief Delphi backed up the claims with their own analysis, and everyone decided it would not be advisable to use one on a FIRST robot. Something about the internal on resistance, and you get power loss and heat buildup in it. Why specifically and where that thread is now, I don't remember, but it's out there. Maybe someone with more time than I have can find it.
On the DMC60, I have no idea.
