Installation and Setup

Installation & Setup

Getting RCIC v4.0 running on your radio requires copying two distinct files. The system uses a dual-script architecture: one file for the dashboard and one for the configuration tool.

Requirements

• Firmware: EdgeTX version 2.9 or higher (strictly required for Lua 5.3 bitwise operations used in the native QR code generator).
• Telemetry: A working telemetry link between your receiver and radio (ELRS, Crossfire, FrSky, etc.) with basic sensors discovered (RxBt, GPS, Alt, etc.).

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Download the Scripts: Download rcic.lua and rcic_cfg.lua from the latest release in this repository.
2. Mount SD Card: Connect your radio to your computer via USB and select USB Storage (SD Card) mode.
3. Copy the Dashboard: Navigate to the SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY folder on your radio's SD card and place rcic.lua inside.
4. Copy the Configuration Tool: Navigate to the SCRIPTS/TOOLS folder on your radio's SD card and place rcic_cfg.lua inside. (Note: The shared configuration file rcic.cfg will be automatically generated the first time you run the setup).
5. Eject: Safely eject the radio from your computer and unplug the USB cable.

Assigning the Dashboard to a Screen

1. On your radio, press the [MDL] button to enter your active model's configuration menu.
2. Press [PAGE>] to navigate to the TELEMETRY (or DISPLAYS) page.
3. Scroll down to Screen 1. Change the layout type from Nums/Bars to Script.
4. Select rcic from the adjacent dropdown menu.

Launching the Suite

• To open the Dashboard: Return to your radio's main home screen. Long-press your configured telemetry button (usually [TELE] or [PAGE]) to execute the script and open the flight interface.
• To open the Configuration Tool: Press the [SYS] button, navigate to the Tools page, and select RCIC Config.
