SC DCalc Peakeff

This document compares three motor performance calculation tools: Scorpion Calc (SC), D-Calc, and Peakeff. All three tools graph motor efficiency versus current and provide results like rpm, thrust, current, power, and efficiency. The key differences are that SC works from minimal motor parameters while D-Calc and Peakeff work best with real-world test data, and that SC has an embedded motor database while D-Calc and Peakeff databases are open/online.
