It's probably about time to make a more 'official' announcement on the developments that have been going on with the RC2HL unit. The most significant development is that the new RC2HL V3 boards are now compatible with the Turnigy 9X8Cv2 receivers. The previous incompatibility problem was not the fault of the RC2HL but rather with the Turnigy receiver.
The 9X8Cv2 receivers do not transmit the channel information/signal in the correct order. Rather the 8 channel receivers transmit in the following order
CH1
CH3
CH2
CH4
The timing of channel 2 and 3 is reversed (credit to ancvi_piii), actually all of this is of credit to ancvi_piii. Hence a few little additions/changes have been made to the RC2HL board to allow for operation with the 8 channel receiver. The first is the addtion of a jumper next to the RX18 input plug. This jumper must be closed if using the 8 channel receiver and open for use with the 6 channel HKT6A receiver. Secondly, the cabling is different. Channel 2 from the receiver must be plugged into IN3 on the RC2HL and Channel 3 into IN2.
In addtion to this 'fix' the RC2HL now offers two addtional 'switching' functions throught the ports S1 and S2. S1 can be used to operate a relay and hence switch on/off the headlights or smoke unit or anything else. S2 is configured as an automatic reverse light.
