v4 smart motors

How do the smart v4 motors work? I’ve never used one before. Also, are there any precautions that I should take to keep my cortex safe? I read somewhere that it generates a lot of static.

Are you referring to the integrated motor encoder add ons to the 393 motors?

yes

If you are using IME’s then I am worried. See you @ states.

Its not that bad. See you at states!

Personally I wouldn’t use it when you can avoid it it is way too inconsistent

So then what should I use instead for a PID loop?

Just the normal optical shaft encoders.
