## What it is
EdgeTX is an open-source firmware for RC radio transmitters, forked from OpenTX with a touch-enabled UI, Lua scripting support, and broad hardware/protocol compatibility. It is a community-driven project with frequent releases and an active ecosystem of companion tools.

## Use cases
- flash custom firmware onto my RC transmitter
- customize my radio control transmitter controls and mixes
- run Lua scripts on my RC radio
- replace OpenTX with a more modern radio firmware
- set up my transmitter for FPV racing drones
- configure multi-protocol RC radio for different models

## When to choose
- you own a supported RC transmitter (e.g. Radiomaster, Jumper, Flysky) and want a modern, customizable firmware
- you want touch UI, Lua scripting, and rapid feature development over OpenTX
- you want community-driven firmware with active development and broad protocol support

## When to avoid
- you need maximum stability over cutting-edge features and prefer the conservative OpenTX
- your transmitter model is not on the supported hardware list
- you need a turnkey commercial firmware with vendor support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: embedded, gui, plugin-system
- domain: hardware, embedded-systems, gaming-tools
- platform: embedded, cross-platform, cli
