MAKO2 has had an update for 2015 and there has been some significant changes. The most notable are:
Friend or Foe function
User changeable magazine capacity
Enhanced MANTA LCD support
Tamiya compatible IR battle ONLY
to add these new functions some other functions had to be removed these are
Heng Long and Taigen IR compatibility (yes this is a biggie but support for these IR protocols was starting to become an Albatross around MAKO's neck)
Mamba interface to RC5HL
The two videos below demonstrate some of the new functions.

Also note that the latest firmware for MAKO2 represents a significant change. Implementation of Friend or Foe means that MAKO2 is now solely TAMIYA compatible.

All Mako install info is here on this forum and on the RCTA youtube channel
Forum Topics
For Taigen setting see Part 3 - Basic Programming On your model you move the jumper to the TESTING Position. When you do this the BLUE LED comes on. This is your 'Indicator LED' On the older MAKO above the Indicator LED happens to be RED. When you press '9' on the Sony TV remote the Mako TOGGLES between Heng Long and Taigen. If you asked for your unit to be set to Taigen this would already have been done. Repeating the process will set it back to Heng Long. Each time you press '9' at the startup program period the unit will toggle between HL and Taigen. This setting is then stored in EEprom so once you have it set you do not have to do it each time you startup.

All MAKO2 are identical when it comes to programming. Pressing the following on a Sony TV remote will set:
[1]: Light Battle Tank – 3 lives, 3 second reload period, 40 shell magazine capacity, 10 sec repair time
[2]: Medium Battle Tank – 5 lives, 5 second reload period, 60 shell magazine capacity, 14 sec repair time
[3]: Heavy Battle Tank – 9 lives, 9 second reload period, 80 shell magazine capacity, 18 sec repair time
[4]: Light Bergepanzer – 3 lives, 6 second reload period, 80 repair capacity, 10 sec repair time
[5]: Medium Bergepanzer – 3 lives, 10 second reload period, 80 repair capacity, 14 sec repair time
[6]: Heavy Bergepanzer – 3 lives, 10 second reload period, 80 repair capacity, 18 sec repair time
[7]: Autoberg: Automatic Bergepanzer mode.
[8]: MAUS Mode: Heavy tank setting firing the Tamiya 2 shot kill code.
[9]: Heng Long/Taigen MFU selection and optimisation
[0]: Display Diagnostics – Displays current MAKO setting on the Diagnostic LCD (sold separately)
[MENU]: Assign Battle Unit Identification Number
Once programmed setting are written to the MAKO's Eeprom so there is no need to program the MAKO at each startup. Mako setting can be changed at any startup programming period.
Again the difference between your MAKO and the one in the doc below is the testing function. If you place the jumper in the testing position you do not need to attach a IR battle unit to receive signal.

Without modification of the cable connecting MAKO2 to the Heng Long 2.4gHz MFU MAKO2 will NOT offer anti-track recoil blocking. This is because Heng Long have changed the timings on these boards such that the recoil is initiated BEFORE the IR signal is activated. To achieve track recoil blocking Heng Long 2.4gHz users will need to now route the microswitch signal DIRECT to MAKO2. Fortunately this is a relatively simple mod and a pic of the mod is shown below.

Just a quick heads up to let everyone know that the latest incarnation of MAKO is about ready to arrive. The big new feature of MAKO2 is the addition of testing capabilities. MAKO2 now features 3 onboard LEDs, its very own IR receiver plus a test fire button. These features make the testing of your MAKO install very easy and allow for the quick identification of where any issues may lie.

In the above pic you can see the white test fire button at bottom right. Above that is the IR receiver (IR1) and testing jumper (JP2). Above the voltage regulator (near the input) is a small green LED that will light when MAKO is correctly powered up. Next to the testing jumper (JP2) are two more LEDs. The blue LED will light with firing of the IR LED (no more looking through a digital camera) and the adjacent red LED is the standard indicator LED (hits and reload period).
The onboard IR receiver allows testing of IR reception of MAKO without having to attach a Heng Long mushroom. It also allows for IR programming of MAKO without connecting any other cables other than that for power.
Available for pre-order right now from the webstore (expected arrival 29 July)
Also now available for pre order, new Sirvoe and Geko boards
