Rotorflight EdgeTX/OpenTX Lua Updater

Desktop updater for rotorflight/rotorflight-lua-scripts.

It downloads Rotorflight Lua script packages from GitHub and syncs the SCRIPTS and WIDGETS folders onto a mounted EdgeTX/OpenTX SD card.

What It Does

• Detects a mounted radio or SD card automatically
• Lets you choose Release, Snapshot, or development builds
• Syncs SCRIPTS and WIDGETS to the SD-card root
• Keeps a local download cache
• Can run a platform disk check against the mounted SD-card volume

SD Card Detection

Auto-detect looks for a mounted root containing:

• SCRIPTS
• plus at least 3 common EdgeTX/OpenTX SD-card folders such as: MODELS, RADIO, SOUNDS, TEMPLATES, THEMES, LOGS, WIDGETS

If the updater does not detect a card, mount the radio/SD card first and make sure those folders are visible at the root.

Running From Source

From src:

• Windows: run_updater.bat
• macOS/Linux: ./run_updater.sh

The updater uses tkinter, so make sure your Python installation includes Tk support.

Developer Notes

Compilation requirements:

1. Windows build host for PyInstaller packaging
2. Python 3.x on PATH
3. PyInstaller installed: pip install pyinstaller
4. From src, run: make.cmd
5. Output EXE: rotorflight-lua-edgetx-updater.exe

Optional build inputs:

• src/icon.ico

Install Behavior

The updater is designed around the release packaging of rotorflight-lua-scripts:

• release assets contain ready-to-copy SCRIPTS and WIDGETS
• snapshot assets do the same
• master and recent development commits fall back to the repository source tree
• only Rotorflight-owned paths are mirrored aggressively
• shared namespaces such as SCRIPTS/TOOLS and SCRIPTS/FUNCTIONS are updated file-by-file without deleting unrelated content
