⚙ Configuration Tool (rcic_cfg)

With version 4.0, RCIC moves away from an in-app overlay and introduces a dedicated, full-screen configuration script. This ensures the telemetry engine remains as light as possible while giving you a powerful, scrollable interface to customize your experience.

Accessing the Menu

1. Press the [SYS] button on your radio.
2. Navigate to the Tools page.
3. Select RCIC Config to launch the editor.

Navigation & Editing

• Scrolling: Use the Rotary Wheel or the [+] and [-] buttons to scroll through the settings.
• Toggling Features: Press [ENTER] on any boolean item (e.g., ON/OFF) to instantly toggle its state.
• Editing Values: Press [ENTER] on a numeric value. The text will invert and blink to indicate Edit Mode. Scroll the wheel to adjust the parameter within its safe limits. Press [ENTER] to confirm, or [RTN] to cancel and revert to the previous value.
• Instant-Save: Every change you make is immediately written to /SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY/rcic.cfg. You can safely press [RTN] to exit the tool at any time; your settings will be loaded the next time the dashboard wakes up.

🎚 Arm-Switch "Listen Mode"

RCIC features an intelligent hardware detection system for setting up your arm switch, eliminating the need to guess values.

1. Scroll down to the Arm SW row and press [ENTER]. The tool will enter Listen Mode.
2. Physically toggle the switch you use to arm your drone (e.g., move switch SF up).
3. The screen will instantly detect the movement and display the switch name and position (e.g., SF▲).
4. Press [ENTER] again to confirm and lock the setting.

Parameter Breakdown

Setting	Description
Update Rate	The dashboard's background refresh cycle (e.g., 1.0s). Lower values mean faster screen updates but demand more CPU load.
Tab [NAME]	Modular UI control. Set to OFF to completely hide a specific tab (BAT, GPS, TOT, LOC, LNK, PWR, RAD) from the dashboard.
Battery Alert	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). Toggles the internal battery low-voltage visual warning.
Audio Alert	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). Enables voice/tone readouts during a low-voltage alarm.
Alert Interval	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). The minimum rest time between alarms (e.g., 20s) to prevent audio saturation.
Alert Step	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). The mandatory voltage drop required to trigger a new alarm (e.g., -0.10V).
Sag Limit	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). Anti-Sag Technology. Defines an Amp threshold (e.g., 20A). If the drone draws more current than this, voltage alerts are suppressed, ignoring heavy throttle punch-outs.
Battery MAH	(Visible if Tab BAT is ON). Your battery's total capacity (e.g., 1500mAh). Critical for accurate flight time estimations.
Min Sats	(Visible if Tab GPS is ON). Minimum satellites required to lock a valid 3D fix. Below this, coordinates won't update.
GPS Log	(Visible if Tab GPS is ON). Enables GPX Blackbox. Automatically writes standard .gpx track files to your /LOGS/ folder while the drone is armed with a valid GPS fix.
TX Alert	Toggles the visual alarm for your radio's internal transmitter battery.
Toast Time	Sets how long on-screen popup notifications (like "** RESET **") remain visible.
Haptic	Enables physical vibration pulses on supported radios for low battery and LOC proximity tracking.
Auto Tab	Safety feature: Automatically switches the dashboard to the GPS or LOC tab if the telemetry link is suddenly lost.
Arm SW	The switch used to trigger the flight timer and GPX logging (configured via Listen Mode).
