VOXL2/VOXL2-MINI RemoteID
-
Hi all,
I realize that RemoteID is still a work in progress by the FAA and that the current architecture doesn't really make sense. That said, we are about to deploy our VOXL2 based system in a location where the FAA expects us to be broadcasting RID. The current docs use the VOXL in SoftAP mode as an example of broadcasting and supporting RemoteID. Unfortunately, our requirements don't allow us to use SoftAP, we are actually using Microhard 2.3ghz Radio, WiFi Client and LTE Cellular. I don't see how we can be broadcast compliant since nobody outside of our network can connect to or read any of our communications. The only simple way I can see to meet the requirement would be to expose a Bluetooth radio on the drone and direct the RID software on VOXL2 to use that for RID.
Bottom line, can we use a WiFi Adapter that support both WiFi and BT 4.2+ and then we can use the WiFi as a failover if needed but use the BT constantly to support broadcast of the RID information???

@Mastermind That sounds like it would be possible, but obviously depends on the driver of the wlan adapter you choose. You would need to implement the bluetooth broadcast portion of Remote ID. The source code for voxl-remote-id is here and only currently supports the Wifi portion of Remote ID
