🚀 Advanced Features

RCIC v4.0 includes several under-the-hood features designed to maximize safety, data retention, and user experience.

GPX Blackbox Tracking

If you have Tab GPS and GPS Log enabled in the Configuration Tool, RCIC acts as an automatic flight tracker.

• Zero-Write Standby: The script waits silently without writing to the SD card to preserve memory.
• Auto-Record: The moment your drone acquires a valid 3D GPS fix and you flip your configured Arm Switch, RCIC creates a unique file in your radio's SD card under /LOGS/R_HHMMSS.gpx.
• Data Logged: It records a breadcrumb trail of your exact Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, and UTC Timestamp every second.
• Playback: You can easily drag and drop these .gpx files into Google Earth, Google Maps, or any FPV tracking software to view your exact 3D flight path.

Auto-Tab Failsafe System

When flying long range, losing your video feed or telemetry link is a high-stress event. You shouldn't have to fumble with radio dials to find your GPS coordinates.

• If the Auto Tab feature is enabled, RCIC actively monitors the telemetry_live status.
• Upon detecting a sudden link loss, the dashboard will automatically jump to the GPS tab (to show you the last known coordinates and QR code) or the LOC tab (if GPS is disabled) so you can begin recovery immediately.

Native Touch-Screen Navigation

For pilots using high-end radios with touch panels (such as the Radiomaster TX16S or Boxer Max), RCIC fully supports EdgeTX touch events.

• You can instantly jump to any dashboard simply by tapping the tab name at the top of the screen.
• The hit-boxes are dynamically calculated to ensure accurate touch registration, even if you disable several tabs and the interface resizes.
