Does anyone have one or know anything about them? I have a new machine with one and am getting up to speed with it [and a hundred other things]. The RTL link connector is new for sure and I think that is where my remote needs to connect.

I have gained a lot of experience with this controller and, aside from not being crazy about the touchscreen interface [if you brush your fingers over it it can give you a start] and screwing up the touchscreen calibration procedure [it really was off] and then not being able to recover it because the calibration was so far off [figured out that you can plug a mouse into the bottom of the interface to fix]. The current problem is that I cannot get the air assist [the wind connection] to function. I found 'to blow' and 'wind' and 'air assist' enabling opportunities at various places but still no function[ I suspect now that a firmware update might fix this- 4.5.2021]. Also the new Ruida remote control that works with most of the common controllers will not work on this controller- BWK301R, this controller needs a BWK301T- which Cloudray also has but does not list. I have now swapped in a RDC6442 controller and that works of course. Onward and upward [?].

The touchscreen is quite large but the cutout for the 6344 and 6442 [and I think the 6445] are all the same size BTW- here is what it looks like-
