The Servo Expander EX5 is an intelligent bus manager compatible with several radio control systems. The device converts 
serial bus signal from up to two receivers to either standard PWM servo outputs, or configurable bus outputs. It offers up 
to five configurable and high-power servo ports with optional period and fail-safe setting.  

The EX5 offers flight stabilization  using  the integrated  MEMS gyroscope/accelerometer.  Up to three configurable flight 
modes  can  be  used,  each  with  different  stabilization  gains  and  settings.  In  connection  with  other  devices  from  our 
production, such as SE4 or SE6, you can create a complex installation with just a few signal/power cables.
