Re: SD540 and DMC60 motor controllers - How do they stack up?

I have never actually used either on an FRC robot on my team but I have had some minimal experience with the Victor SP. I read the documentation the Victor SP and the DMC 60 and compared the two.

The DMC 60 is a clone of the Victor SP but we already know that. They even say that on their website*. But even the tech specs are exactly the same. The only difference is the DMC 60 was made by Digilent (which is an NI company) and is $10.00 more expensive. I also trust the VEX brand name more than I would the Digilent one because I have more experience with VEX products as I think most people in FRC would.

TL;DR DMC 60 is $10.00 more and nothing else.


*Fun Fact:When I first saw the DMC 60 in the new game manual, I went to their website. Everywhere it says "Victor SP" now it said "CTRE Victor SP" so I emailed them and they changed it haha
