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
- Download the Scripts: Download
rcic.luaandrcic_cfg.luafrom the latest release in this repository. - Mount SD Card: Connect your radio to your computer via USB and select USB Storage (SD Card) mode.
- Copy the Dashboard: Navigate to the
SCRIPTS/TELEMETRYfolder on your radio's SD card and placercic.luainside. - Copy the Configuration Tool: Navigate to the
SCRIPTS/TOOLSfolder on your radio's SD card and placercic_cfg.luainside. (Note: The shared configuration filercic.cfgwill be automatically generated the first time you run the setup). - Eject: Safely eject the radio from your computer and unplug the USB cable.
Assigning the Dashboard to a Screen
- On your radio, press the [MDL] button to enter your active model's configuration menu.
- Press [PAGE>] to navigate to the TELEMETRY (or DISPLAYS) page.
- Scroll down to Screen 1. Change the layout type from Nums/Bars to Script.
- Select
rcicfrom 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.
