<p>No, unfortunately this features can only be offered for MICROBEAST PLUS and MICROBEAST PLUS HD. For other devices we can't offer such feature due to limitations of the hardware.<br />

==Can I use the governor in combination with a standard (multi-wire) receiver? Why not?==
The governor can only work in combination with a serial line receiver. This is for technical reason:
* when using a multi-wire receiver all ports on MICROBEAST PLUS are occupied already. There is no free port left to connect the motor speed sensor.
* also there is no free port for the throttle output where the ESC must be connected to
* in addition to control the governor we need the throttle channel (or other type of channel) from the radio. But with a multi-wire receiver we only have the 5 channels for roll, pitch, rudder, ... there is no throttle/additional aux channel.<br />
<br />
So in summary with the Standard receiver layout we would need at least 3 additional ports on the Microbeast which are not there, unfortunately. Reasons are that governor function was implemented after MICROBEAST PLUS was designed, but also it would make the device much bigger and more complicated when adding 3 additional ports. The benefit of making MICROBEAST PLUS bigger would be little, as today most radio brands offer some sort of serial wire receiver. And serial wire is the way to go in our opinion, as it offers much more options and flexibility in general.<br />
