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

The DMC 60 also has a feature where it shuts down if it overheats or if it has too little voltage. The voltage thing might be nice so you don't lose connection through a brownout, but it doesn't shut off quickly enough or at the right voltage. I can't see any time when the motor controller would overheat in FRC use, I assume if a team was having issues, they would be putting a fan on it or building more space into the electronics board.

The SD540 was tested by CTRE and it underperforms drastically compared to the SPARK. I would recommend the SPARK over the 540, since it offers the same features for $5 less.
