Dashboard Themes

The RFSuite dashboard widget comes with several themes. A theme decides what the dashboard shows and how it looks. Each theme has three layouts: preflight before you arm, inflight while you fly, and postflight after you land. The dashboard switches between them by itself.

Choosing a theme

Open Settings → Dashboard → Themes in RFSuite.

  • Pick one theme for all three phases, or turn off Use same theme and pick a different one for each phase.
  • With the heli connected, you can also set a theme for that model only. It replaces the global choice for that model.
  • Themes with Own settings in the table have options of their own, such as gauge ranges, under Settings → Dashboard → Settings.

Default

A large voltage arc beside the flight time and link quality. Before the flight it also shows the model image, profiles, flight count and Blackbox use.

Default preflight

Default inflight

Default postflight

AERC

Arcs for throttle, headspeed and ESC temperature, each with its maximum, under the flight time and a fuel bar with pack voltage and mAh used.

AERC preflight

AERC inflight

AERC postflight

AERC Nitro

For nitro helis: headspeed and throttle arcs either side of a segmented BEC voltage bar, with the flight time on top.

AERC Nitro preflight

AERC Nitro inflight

AERC Nitro postflight

Basic Timer

A large flight timer, with the profiles, flight count and link quality below it.

Basic Timer preflight

Basic Timer inflight

Basic Timer postflight

Bastion

A dense instrument panel: a central headspeed dial with ESC temperature, throttle, fuel, current, BEC voltage and link around it. After the flight it flags anything that went out of range.

Needs a dashboard area of at least 784 × 294 pixels, so it is hidden on smaller radios such as the X18.

Bastion preflight

Bastion inflight

Bastion postflight

Claude

A voltage arc, a large fuel ring and a headspeed dial, with the timer and governor state.

Claude preflight

Claude inflight

Claude postflight

DanielRC

A text panel in three groups (power, headspeed and status) with the governor state and flight time.

DanielRC preflight

DanielRC inflight

DanielRC postflight

Gismo

A large battery graphic between headspeed and timer on one side, and cell and pack voltage on the other.

Gismo preflight

Gismo inflight

Gismo postflight

HeliHUD

A head-up display: a headspeed dial between two gauges, with cell voltage, current, ESC temperature, tail RPM, timer and link below. After the flight it shows a flight report.

HeliHUD preflight

HeliHUD inflight

HeliHUD postflight

Kevd

Arcs for ESC temperature, headspeed and throttle with their maximums, beside a column with the timer, fuel and governor state.

Needs a dashboard area of at least 784 × 294 pixels, so it is hidden on smaller radios such as the X18.

Kevd preflight

Kevd inflight

Kevd postflight

KSE4

A tile dashboard after Kyle Stacy's KSE4: a large headspeed tile beside the timer, a strip of current, voltage, ESC temperature and throttle, and a full-width fuel bar. It takes its colours from the radio's Ethos theme.

KSE4 preflight

KSE4 inflight

KSE4 postflight

KSE5

A ring dashboard after Kyle Stacy's KSE5: rings for fuel, headspeed, current and ESC temperature, with the governor, voltages and mAh used in tiles below. Its settings set the full scale of each ring. It takes its colours from the radio's Ethos theme.

KSE5 preflight

KSE5 inflight

KSE5 postflight

RF Status

Voltage and fuel arcs above the governor state, link quality, headspeed and timer.

RF Status preflight

RF Status inflight

RF Status postflight

RT-RC

Pack voltage and fuel arcs above the governor state, link quality, headspeed and timer. Before the flight it adds the model image, profiles, flight count and Blackbox use.

RT-RC preflight

RT-RC inflight

RT-RC postflight

RT-RC Nitro

RT-RC for nitro helis: BEC voltage and throttle arcs in place of pack voltage and fuel.

RT-RC Nitro preflight

RT-RC Nitro inflight

RT-RC Nitro postflight

SRB-RC

A grid of tiles: governor state, BEC voltage, link, headspeed, profiles, ESC temperature, current and timer above a full-width flight battery bar.

SRB-RC preflight

SRB-RC inflight

SRB-RC postflight

The screenshots come from the Ethos simulator, so the values are examples. Some postflight screens use sample flight figures.
