What It Solves
UAVs need to comply with Remote ID regulations by broadcasting identification and location information. This project provides a software library to integrate OpenDroneID capabilities into ArduPilot-based flight controllers.
Primary use cases
- Broadcasting drone ID and telemetry via Wi-Fi BLE or DroneID
- Integrating RemoteID into custom ArduPilot builds
- Testing RemoteID message formatting and transmission
Secondary use cases
- Educational reference for RemoteID protocol implementation
- Developing custom RemoteID broadcast hardware
When to Use
Consider when
- Regulatory requirements mandate RemoteID in your airspace
- Building or modifying ArduPilot-based drones
- Need to extend or customize RemoteID broadcast behavior
Verify before adopting
- Confirm your ArduPilot version supports this library
- Check local RemoteID regulations for specific broadcast requirements
- Validate hardware compatibility for chosen broadcast method (Wi-Fi BLE etc)

Adoption Checklist
- Needs verification Confirm your ArduPilot version supports this library
- Needs verification Check local RemoteID regulations for specific broadcast requirements
- Needs verification Validate hardware compatibility for chosen broadcast method (Wi-Fi BLE etc)
Each check stays "needs verification" until an official source confirms it; unconfirmed items are never marked verified.
Known Limitations & Unknowns
Known limitations
- Requires ArduPilot firmware
