Hi, im in the UK and have the FC40. I have ordered and obtained a Gimbal kit from the far east. Its been delivered ok but I had not noticed on the ebay advert that the control board is not supplied. Now I see that these control boards are readily available too on Ebay. My question is this. Is there a particular type of board I need to buy? Im assuming that boards generally have the software installed already. Is there something I need to make sure of before I buy a board. Any advice would be great.... Richard
 
There are 4 flavors:

* Basecamelectronics SimpleBGC controller: 8-bit/32-bit. Expensive or extremely expensive and closed source. Good GUI. Support.
* Simple BGC clones: "Pirated" versions of the 8-bit 2.2.B2 version of Basecamelectronics controller. Good GUI (Basecam)
* Martinez boards: 8 bit open source variant of the controller.
* StOrM32 controller: Extremely cheap and Open Source 32-bit controller. 2 and 3 axis support. http://www.olliw.eu/storm32bgc-wiki/Main_Page Limited support (open source community)
