FC-HAKO includes USB interface, rather than using a USB-to-RS232 converter cable which then gets converted to TTL levels with a MAX232 or similar chip. Not sure if people use more than 2 analog inputs or the 4 switch outputs. Those are not supported. It also supports official software (FC-Pro JP only, including analog inputs), and third party software. It also supports firmware updating, if any bug fixes or new features need to be added to the hardware in the future.

This is a hardware-only solution. Software compatibility guide is on the website, under the technical tab. There's only one piece of hardware on offer. Everything else mentioned are either competitors or vapour-ware. BK. (fc-hako.com)

Guys, If you have any questions about the FC-HAKO, please post them here. I'm responsible for implementing the complete hardware interface solution that works with all PowerFCs, and works with official and third party software including analog input support for both (thanks to kashima for fc-pro information!). It includes USB support directly, so it doesn't use RS232 signals (+/- 12V) for serial. Thanks to Paul for willing to test out the device in the flesh, and to include it in the next update of the FAQ. Anyway... it's been an interesting journey and experience to produce and implement this long sought-after piece of hardware for a reasonable price. It was a huge challenge and it is no wonder that quite a few people attempted or believed they could do it but failed. BK. (fc-hako.com)

Is anyone interested in a working powerfc interface box? It works with copilot, fc-edit and fc-pro (power excel software).
