RC Info Center (RCIC) is a highly optimized, full-featured telemetry suite designed exclusively for radio transmitters running EdgeTX 2.9 or higher. What started as a simple script has evolved into a powerful dual-module architecture featuring a lightweight background telemetry dashboard and a dedicated full-screen configuration tool.
RCIC provides a highly modular 7-tab dashboard, real-time battery analytics, GPX blackbox logging, a head-up tactical radar, and an acoustic drone locator.
- 7-Tab Modular Dashboard: Seamless touch-screen navigation between Battery (BAT), GPS Navigation (GPS), Tactical Radar (RAD), Link Quality (LNK), Power & Efficiency (PWR), Drone Locator (LOC), and Flight Statistics (TOT). Customize your interface by disabling any tabs you don't need.
- Dual-Script Architecture: A strictly optimized telemetry engine (
rcic.lua) paired with an independent, instant-save Configuration Tool (rcic_cfg.lua) to ensure zero-lag performance during flight. - GPX Blackbox Logging: Automatically records your flight path (coordinates, altitude, and time) into standard
.gpxfiles on your SD card whenever the drone is armed with a valid 3D fix. - Zero-RAM QR & Plus Code: Instantly generates a standard
geo:lat,lonQR Code and an Open Location Code natively in Lua. It draws directly to the screen pixels, requiring absolutely zero internet connection and 0 bytes of dynamic RAM overhead. - Smart Power & Anti-Sag: Advanced algorithms monitor your instant current draw to suppress false low-voltage alarms during heavy throttle punch-outs.
- Head-Up Tactical Radar: A dynamic, auto-scaling radar screen that plots your home position relative to the drone's current heading.
- Multi-Protocol Drone Locator: An acoustic (Geiger-counter style) and visual RSSI tracker to find your downed quadcopter. It automatically normalizes ELRS, Crossfire, and FrSky signals into an intuitive 0–100% interface.
Installing RCIC v4.0 requires copying two files to your SD card:
- Download the latest release from the repository.
- Copy
rcic.luato your radio's SD card under/SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/. - Copy
rcic_cfg.luato your radio's SD card under/SCRIPTS/TOOLS/. - On your radio, go to your Model settings -> TELEMETRY (or DISPLAYS) page.
- Set Screen 1 to Script and select
rcic.
To configure the suite, press the [SYS] button, navigate to the Tools page, and run RCIC Config. To launch the flight dashboard, long-press your configured telemetry button (usually [TELE]) from the main screen.
