    Good afternoon, I have been trying to get the remote ID to work on RB5. I followed the steps in the technical document, and everything was working well until I had to check voxl-remote-id status. I end up getting something like this which is in the technical document. My device is already in SoftAP mode.
    voxl:/$ systemctl status voxl-remote-id
    voxl-remote-id.service - voxl-remote-id

        @doe43john77 It's acting like the softap mode didn't get setup correctly. Are you able to connect to the drone over WiFi? Is there anything in the directory /data/misc/wifi/hostapd?

                              @doe43john77 It's probably going to be a couple of weeks before we can provide something.
