Hi Jim, Funny you should have mention this as I have recently built one of these boards, one of the P-8055 Board (The second link that Jim supplied). I have written a python glue script which will control the throttle based on the position of the two potenimeter. One for each engine. Note: The board doesn't filter the rounding error the adc conversion. That is the value of the potenimeter can alternate between values (+/- 1) but easily solved in code. Feel free to email me privately if you would like a copy of the code (Most of the code is obvious however). GPL license will apply to this script.
