Magic Box v2.0 · Web UI walkthrough
Every feature, explained.
19 features across 5 sections — channels, tuning, hardware discovery, profiles. The Web UI you configure on your phone, end to end.
01
Configure from your phone
No laptop on the bench. No CLI. No installer. Magic Box runs its own Web UI on its own WiFi network — open it from any phone, configure everything that matters.
Coming soon Live channel bars — 20Hz WebSocket
Live preview of hardware state
Watch your sticks, in real time.
Every axis, every button — live bars updating 20 times a second. Tap a channel to see exactly what's driving it. No guessing, no oscilloscope.
Coming soon Phone joining MagicBox-XXXX WiFi
Wireless access via phone
No app. No cable. No laptop.
Magic Box broadcasts its own WiFi access point — MagicBox-XXXX. Connect from any phone, open the URL, you're in. Bench, hangar, runway — works the same.
Dark mode & light mode
Built for cockpit lighting and bright daylight.
F-22 Raptor dark theme by default — readable under the canopy, no glare on tinted visors. Light mode for sunny benchwork. Toggle from settings, it remembers.
Coming soon PIN entry screen
PIN for access
Your config, locked down.
4-digit PIN protects the Web UI from anyone on the WiFi. Idle timeout logs you out. Optional, but if you fly at meets — turn it on.
02
Channels — every signal, every protocol
16 channels in, 16 channels out. Modern digital protocols (SBUS, IBUS, CRSF) and classic PPM. External inputs from head trackers and buddy boxes. The whole RC signal stack, configurable from one screen.
Channels overview
16 channels, one screen.
All channels, all values, all bindings — in one scrollable list. Edit any channel with a tap: source, transform, output. The structure of your flight model, made visible.
Categories, groups and custom names
Throttle, ailerons, modes — labeled like a cockpit, not a spreadsheet.
Rename channels. Group them by function — primary controls, flight modes, gear, overrides. Pick from preset categories or roll your own. Your naming, your discipline.
Coming soon Output protocol picker — SBUS / IBUS / CRSF / PPM
Digital protocols support
PPM. SBUS. IBUS. CRSF. Pick one. Or all of them.
Output any protocol your radio or flight controller speaks. Modern flight controllers want digital — Magic Box gives them digital. Old radios want PPM — Magic Box gives them PPM. Toggle per profile.
Coming soon External PPM input + mixer diagram
Head trackers, buddy boxing & external inputs
Plug in a head tracker. Plug in a buddy stick. Mix it all in.
PPM input on the 3.5mm jack accepts head trackers, buddy boxes or any external signal source. The built-in mixer blends external channels with your HOTAS — head moves the gimbal, hands fly the plane.
03
Tuning — radio-grade transforms on a touchscreen
The shaping that makes a stick feel right — trims, expo curves, weight, limits, overrides. The same toolkit you'd find buried in a high-end transmitter. Surfaced on the Web UI, configured with a tap.
Trims
Center the stick. Center the surface.
Per-channel trim and subtrim — calibrate your model out of the box, on the bench. No screwdriver, no servo arm shuffling. The same workflow you'd use on a high-end transmitter.
Coming soon Expo curve editor with weight + limits
Transform — expo, weight, limits
Make a stick feel right.
Per-channel expo curves for soft mid-stick precision. Weight (mixing ratio), reversed direction, min/max endpoints. The shaping you'd find buried in your radio's menus, surfaced on a phone screen.
Coming soon Channel override toggle + constant value
Override
Ignore the stick. Send a fixed value.
Override any channel with a constant. Use it for ground-test poses, fail-safe setups, or as a temporary kill on a misbehaving axis. One toggle, one number, channel locked.
Coming soon Reverse toggle + scale slider
Reverse and scale
Flip a direction. Scale a range.
Per-axis reversal — fix a backwards-installed servo or a swapped elevator without rewiring. Scale the input range to match what your model expects. Bind once, fly forever.
04
Hardware — discover and bind anything USB
Plug in a HOTAS. Plug in a button box. Plug in something nobody's seen before. Magic Box detects, classifies and surfaces every axis and button — ready to bind.
Coming soon Sniffer detecting 3-position switch
Quick switch & encoder discovery
Touch a switch. Magic Box knows what it is.
Auto-detection of 2-position, 3-position, latching and momentary switches. Move the switch, the sniffer classifies it, you pick the binding. No manual button-counting.
Coming soon Battery voltage gauge + low-volt buzzer setting
Battery monitor
Voltage on screen. Buzzer if it dips.
Live voltage display from your 3-6S LiPo. Configurable low-voltage threshold — buzzer fires before you brown out the radio mid-takeoff. The kind of detail you only miss once.
05
Profiles & data — your setup, your way
Your config is data. Back it up, export it, version-control it, share it. Migrate from Magic Box v1, generate iNav configs, ship YAML to a friend. Your tuning, portable.
Coming soon Backup / restore screen
Backup database & import
Your whole config — one file.
Snapshot the entire device state — profiles, bindings, settings, hardware definitions — into a backup. Restore it on a fresh Magic Box, or after a firmware update. Sleep easier.
Coming soon YAML export preview
Export hardware as YAML
Your hardware, in plain text.
Every controller, every axis, every button — exported as readable YAML. Version-control it, share it on the forum, copy it between Magic Boxes. Your discoveries, portable.
Import profile from v1
Upgrading from v1? Bring your profiles.
If you ran Magic Box v1, your profiles import directly into v2. Channel transforms, bindings, names — preserved. Your accumulated tuning doesn't get thrown away on upgrade.
Coming soon iNav config block — copy to clipboard
iNav config creator
Generate iNav config from your channel layout.
Magic Box knows which channels are throttle, modes, aux. Export an iNav-compatible config block — paste it into your flight controller's CLI. Less typing, fewer mismatches.
All of this. From your phone. On the runway.
Magic Box v2.0 ships with everything on this page — no extra firmware, no upgrade path, no paid tier. Order, plug in, configure, fly.
