My interests are moving away from RC tanks, so I'll probably won't be a customer, but I have to chime in to applaud what you're doing.

Not only is it brilliant going open source, but working with HK is an outstanding move. They've really become a major player in the industry and their 'home branded' products have stood the test of time. Their product is now just as good as others, it's not a case of HL style OQ. I've been running some HK servos and chips for years now and they stand up as well as Futaba or HiTec.

Arduino exploded on the scene of hobby electronics with open source, hopefully you will have the same impact on the RC world.

Scratch my original comment, while I may not be building many RC tanks, I'm still into RC and I could see this board in a RC Lost in Space B9 Robot, camera dolly, Schwimmwagen, etc.

Is it C or C++? Any chance of using Mac?
