A custom board, based on the ATmega328 (because most of the reference material is based on Arduino, they are really cheap right now and I already have a programmer for Atmel chips). With the newly released FT230X for serial over USB (because, let's try something new).
As such it should be able to read up to 8 channels from the RC receiver, with two connectors for servo testing. One with pass trough from channel 8 to manually control the servo, and one wired to the micro controller which will periodically turn it left and right (useful to quickly test a servo with no RC controller or power supply for it near by).

PCB design of the rc2usb board.
Well, this is the theory any way! Will it work as designed? only time will tell.
P. S. There is a tiny mistake on the schematics: capacitors C9 & C10 should be 47pF not 100nF. Damn you Copy & Paste!
