@admin @modaltb @Moderator 

What is the status of `voxl-remote-id`?

It seems like the current version may be bugged according to [this post](https://forum.modalai.com/topic/4186/invalid-remote-id-serial-number). 

I am using a Starling 2 Max (SKU below) and would be interested in broadcasting RID while being connected to another WiFI network _i.e._ not in SoftAP mode. As far as I can understand from the [remote-id docs page](https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-remote-id/) this is not possible as the RID is broadcast over the wifi signal. Is that understanding correct?

```
family code:   MRB-D0012 (starling-2-max)
compute board: 4 (voxl2)
hw version:    2
cam config:    29
modem config:  24 (M0090-3-2 Sierra EM9291))
tx config:     9 (ghost)
extras config: 0 (none)
SKU:           MRB-D0012-4-V2-C29-T9-M24-X0
```

Note that if I even try running `voxl-remote-id` I get the following error:
```bash
voxl2:/$ voxl-remote-id
INFO:    Remote ID SN: 1814C1425399169
ERROR: in json_read_file, file is missing: /etc/modalai/voxl-remote-id.conf
ERROR: object missing self_id_message
ERROR:   Could not read in self ID string
ERROR:   Could not read from config file
ERROR:   Failed to fill uas data
```

Kind regards,
Griffin
