Installing the Lua Suite

1. Download

Download the suite from the releases page. Each release has one zip per language, for example wingflight-lua-ethos-suite-0.0.34-en.zip for English. Pick the release that matches your firmware version: the release notes say which firmware it is for.

2. Put it on the radio

Use either way:

  • Ethos Suite: connect the radio by USB, open Lua Development Tools, choose Install Lua Scripts, and select the zip.
  • By hand: connect the radio by USB as a drive, unzip the download, and copy the wfsuite folder into the scripts folder on the radio. Replace the old wfsuite folder if there is one.

Then unplug the radio and restart it.

3. Turn on the background task for your model

The suite does its work in a background task that each model has to turn on. On the radio, open the Model menu, go to page 3, and open Lua. Turn Wingflight [Background] on.

Until it is on, every tile in the app shows Background task not running when you press it.

4. Check telemetry

The app talks to the flight controller over telemetry, so the radio needs a working link to the receiver:

  1. In the Model menu, RF system, make sure the RF module you fly with is turned on.
  2. Power up the model, then open Model → Telemetry and discover sensors if the list is empty.

If sensors are missing, see Telemetry for the flight controller side.

5. Open the app

Press SYS on the radio and go to the second page. The Wingflight tile opens the app.

With the model powered and connected, every tile in the app can be opened. Without a connection, only Logs and Settings work: everything else needs the flight controller. Continue with Using the app.

Updating

Install a new release the same way. Your app settings (under Settings) are kept in a separate folder, scripts/wfsuite.user, so replacing the wfsuite folder does not lose them.
