Remote ID for Pixhawk/QGroundControl

1

Greetings. I have six custom drones running PX4 1.13.3, using QGC as ground control. They are all registered as Part 107 drones. I will shortly have to equip all of them with a remote ID module to meet the FAA’s Sept 16, 2023 deadline.
There are currently four products approved by FAA, and are available for sale. They all seem to operate completely independent of the drone control system and ground control station. However, there has to be some way to monitor the outgoing signals. Any thoughts about this? Will QGC be adding some functionality for this? I could use some direction from the developers and/or Auterion.

Thanks,
Joe

QGC supports Open Drone ID as defined by the MAVLink group here Open Drone ID Protocol · MAVLink Developer Guide

For more info on support at the QGC level you can start here https://github.com/mavlink/qgroundcontrol/pull/10600

Good luck.

Hey,
Im the original author on the github issue.
Holybro said to me (by email) that their openid module wasn’t appropriate for DIY usage.

I’ve gave up on this

but if you have news I’d like to hear about it

But i think it is not related to holybro module this is related to qground control

Hey,
I guess mine was also saying something like this. But still you broadcast this and fly. Should not be an issue.
I need to check on that with the latest main or stable though. The last time I checked was with 1.14.

In Europe regulations, you should set operator ID and broadcast it, it isn’t brodcasted if it isn’t validate.
