I think I've now got a compact, low-cost design that is working. Something which is easy to see by a human looking at a screen takes a little bit of work for a microcontroller to come to the same conclusion.

So far I've tested 3 different ESC's in blinky mode and getting repeatable results. With one degree of boost on a Tekin RS Pro, it's an obvious fail (cue Tekin jokes).

Lots more testing to go and work to do on case/UI, plus explore some closely related uses. Might yet go down in flames, but so far looks promising.
