Sorry the app isn't setup properly for v2, all the pinouts are different. I almost have an update ready that changes things easy.
With that said if you go to the "configure ports" screen and use the "advanced" tab you can select sensors or outputs from the "function" drop down and ignore the "Robo-Tank" label which is mainly only on that screen anyways.
For example, if you scroll to bottom of page you'll see the 16 pins for PCA9685, pin 15 will be DC1 but on v2 DC1 is pin 0. So you need to edit pin 0 and change function to dosing pump, then it should work. You need to do this to all the ports you want to use. If you go through the manual at the end of each sensor type section is a table showing the pin number for each port. Here's the DC ports.

Looking at the errors it looks like the startup program is missing, must of somehow got deleted and not replaced, I haven't seen this before. The startup program is very small, I had to add that to make an automated update system. The main program file is "robotank" located in the /var/www/html/cpp folder where startup should be. An update usually requires the main c++ program to be overwritten but that can't happen if it's running so the startup program runs first to check if it's just completed an update and then launches the main program when ready.
Let's try this.
In the SSH terminal type the following commands
cd /var/www/html/cpp
./robotank
This will manually start the program, you will see all kinds of data print out when the program starts. At that point it should run fine until you close the SSH terminal, it'll stop when you do that.
If everything works as expected press CTRL + Z on the keyboard to stop the program.
Then run this command to stop the robotank service in case it's still trying to run.
sudo systemctl stop robotank.service
Now type in the following command, this will compile the startup.cpp file and create the startup file which seems to be missing.
g++ -o startup startup.cpp `mysql_config --cflags --libs`
Then type the following command to get a list of files in the folder.
ls -al
Verify you have the startup file
If so power cycle the controller and it should run as expected.
After the update if you have a black screen you need to press CTRL + SHIFT + R on the keyboard a few times in a row to clear the cache.
