Dashboard Themes

The 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.

Choose the theme under Settings → Dashboard: one theme for all three phases or a different one for each, and optionally a different theme for a particular model. Themes with their own settings have a tile 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, RPM 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 models: RPM and throttle arcs either side of a segmented BEC voltage bar, with the flight time on top.

AERC Nitro preflight

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

Claude

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

Claude preflight

Claude inflight

Claude postflight

DanielRC

A text panel in three groups (power, RPM and status, or the second motor on twins) with the governor state and flight time.

DanielRC preflight

DanielRC inflight

DanielRC postflight

Gismo

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

Gismo preflight

Gismo inflight

Gismo postflight

Kevd

Arcs for ESC temperature, RPM 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 inflight

Kevd postflight

KSE4

A tile dashboard after Kyle Stacy's KSE4: a large RPM 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, RPM, 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, RPM and timer.

RF Status preflight

RF Status inflight

RF Status postflight

RT-RC

Pack voltage and fuel arcs above the governor state, link quality, RPM 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 models: 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, RPM, 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. The postflight screens use sample flight figures.
