6 Channel Reeds Emulation on 2.4ghz using 'Tiny' encoder (update)

I modified & ported the 684 assembler code from the 10/12 channel reeds emulation encoder onto this tiny commercial SMT 12F675 board and it all worked perfectly on the bench, so I made this prototype 6ch reeds set. The greatest benefit of this board is that its readily available so I can offer them to other enthusiasts without all the hassle and mess of making my own PCBs. Features - it has 6 emulated reeds channels (ie rudder, elevator & throttle), has trims on all functions, reversing on all functions, two options for servo transit speed, a single-handed range-check mode, and runs off a small 2S lipo using a Frsky DFT 2.4ghz RF module. Frsky is my personal favourite, but almost any module will work, the OrangeRx ones for Futaba are very good if you're a DSM2/DSMX user. It has had extensive ground testing, and the set has been flown in a Multiplex Easy Cub, no problems other than the tiny toggle switches are a bit uncomfortable to use, I need to find some slide on covers. But a successful trial, probably next I'll try the Impala slope soarer, which I currently fly on either the converted Orbit-10 or the Remcon 12 reeds sets. The Impala is an ideal reeds model, and very nostalgic too!
