I2c to PWM convertor

[RTRyder]

For those of you that would rather be able to use standard ESC's with an MK flight controller there's a new I2C to PWM convertor available that is ridiculously cheap, I just bought a pair of them for less than $30 and it will handle up to 8 ESC's. You can find them here... http://abusemark.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3 and read about them here... http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1399162 1200 Yen is roughly $14.50 US at today's exchange rates, considerably better price than the Flash RC convertor which is at least 3X more expensive.

I'll be testing one of them out on my coax octo build using the MK flight controller currently powering my stock Hexa. If it works as well as it appears to and I like the way it flys, there may be a Hoverfly Pro board for sale soon.

A review would be great. How do you like the Flash RC convertor?

After reading through the 18 or so pages on the Flash RC board over on RCG I decided against getting one shortly before I was about to buy one. One of the big deciding factors was the Japanese version allows the end user to update firmware with a MK USB or regular programmer like the one used for the KK boards. The Flash board requires a return to the builder for any fixes or updates, that alone was enough to tip the decision away from the Flash convertor, well that and the price difference. The Japanese boards are well documented in clearly written English and the firmware updates and utility are linked to right from the website page, how much easier can it be?
