Thomas,
We are using the HB to control an AstroFligt 50A controller. The
controller comes standard with a 20K pot to vary the PWM signal. What I
did as substitute the 20K pot with a DallasSimi DS1803 pot. Its a 14
(I think) dip package that uses I2C to vary a pair of 50K pots on the
chip. Works great.
Details are available. Yours for the asking.

I've found many speed controllers at the Tower Hobbies web page, but I am not sure what sort of input these controllers require. Has anyone ever interfaced the Handy board to a commercial speed controller? It looks like these units are designed to connect up with RC radio equipment.
