    Hey,

    I'm currently looking to build some SFX100 style actuators for a racing motion rig. As I want to go the DC way I've seen some people use ODrive for it. I'm currently testing with the BLDC-8015a drivers (I guess they are also used in the FlyPT project). I now wonder what's the benefit of using ODrive. Yes, you can configure a lot with ODrive, but what is the benefit related to the movement? Is it more smooth? Is it more fine on small movements? Is there any argument on using ODrive when it comes to this points (beside that it's more flexible)?

    Best,

    Ben
