Dronetag has launched the second technology of their Distant ID broadcast module known as BS (Primary Resolution). The BS module weighs 0.035 oz (1 gram), which makes it the tiniest and lightest Distant ID answer for drone pilots on the present market. Regardless of its miniature measurement, BS is full of know-how providing priceless options for pastime pilots (FPV & RC fashions). Dronetag now provides the BS module as a
standalone Combo bundle with enclosure, battery, charger, and antennas in a time-limited supply for a one-off worth of 99 USD. The motion bundle is in inventory and able to be shipped earlier than the FAA deadline on March 16, 2024.
The most affordable choice to grow to be Distant ID compliant prices pilots 85 USD at an official worth level – see the comparability desk beneath or obtain. For the value of a single BigMac menu, clients can now improve to the Dronetag BS Combo. This cutting-edge answer, together with the module, antennas, enclosure, and battery, weighs solely 0.176 oz (5 grams), making it the lightest choice offering full Distant ID compliance. Dronetag’s premium {hardware} and software program options make it the most well-liked and best-selling system available on the market. Clients can select to amass the BS Combo both by way of the Dronetag e-shop or discover the choices supplied by licensed resellers, Drone Nerds, and NewBeeDrone.
There may be restricted inventory of the BS Combo obtainable and the supply is legitimate till March 16, 2024.
“Compliance has by no means been our solely aim. All through the creation strategy of the second-generation BS, we eagerly delved into the views and needs shared by drone lovers and pastime pilots worldwide. We combed by way of boards, engaged in discussions, and carefully monitored social media to achieve invaluable insights into what the drone neighborhood really wants. We then remodeled all this data right into a {hardware} element that pushes technological boundaries of the Distant ID market,” says Lukas Brchl, founder and CEO of Dronetag.
The BS makes pilots’ lives trouble-free due to a radical mixture of distinctive options. Direct integration of the RID module with Spectrum receivers and Betaflight flight controllers. Actual-time flight logs saved within the {hardware} flash reminiscence in BS. Or synchronization with the Dronetag cellular utility, the place all flight knowledge could be considered, exported as logs, or visualized by importing KML map knowledge to Google Earth or the cloud.
Primarily based available on the market and neighborhood analysis, Dronetag crafted the brand new BS and arrange the game-changing deal bundle, together with a variety of equipment. What’s new within the second-generation BS:
● NEW ENCLOSURE OPTION
The brand new enclosure design has a battery slot particularly for the second-generation BS. It provides further safety, enhances aesthetics, and simplifies attaching the module to the plane. The brand new enclosure turns BS into a totally standalone battery-powered module. There may be additionally a second enclosure choice with out the battery slot for individuals who desire powering their module from any as much as 17V energy supply.
● ANTENNAS NOW INCLUDED
Extremely Compact Bluetooth & GNSS Wire antennas at the moment are each included within the bundle.
● LESS INTERFERENCE
Including SAW filters improves the BS radio interference immunity. This improve has a direct impression on GNSS efficiency, stability, and precision. This enchancment is predicated on the enter from FPV pilots who make the most of high-power transmitters and have often encountered interference points.
● IMPROVED POSITION OF LED
The LED positioned on the BS circuit board’s prime aspect helps test whether or not the system is prepared visually.
● MORE MOUNTING OPTIONS
An M1.6 threaded column has been added to simplify mounting a plastic enclosure to the system circuit board. It may also be used for varied DIY mounts.
● SOLDER READY
As some pilots desire soldering their very own cables as an alternative of utilizing JST connectors, the brand new BS has solder pads on the underside aspect of the circuit board.
● 2-IN-1 SOLUTION FOR POSITIONING AND RID
BS now helps each Spektrum XBUS and SRXL2. It may well additionally feed telemetry knowledge to Betaflight or comparable flight controllers by way of UART, appearing as a GPS module whereas concurrently broadcasting Distant ID knowledge.
● UNIVERSAL CHARGER FOR THE BATTERY
Primarily based on the pilots’ suggestions, the brand new technology BS has a devoted USB-C battery charger.
● MORE POWER OPTIONS
Dronetag BS helps a number of powering choices, from the supplied battery, drone battery, or another 5V energy supply.
Flight Logging & GPS Knowledge Feeds for Spektrum Receivers
New options flip BS right into a 2-in-1 positioning and Distant ID transmitter, saving pilots invaluable payload of their plane. Pilots utilizing Spektrum receivers will admire prolonged compatibility
Dronetag BS can feed dwell GPS knowledge to Spektrum receivers by way of XBUS and SRXL2, appearing as a GPS module. Additionally, connecting Dronetag BS to the Spektrum telemetry receiver will allow pilots to entry dwell positioning knowledge comparable to precise location, velocity, or top.
One other space that has undergone enhancements is log and flight knowledge administration. The brand new BS moreover allows storing flight logs within the system’s inner flash reminiscence and importing them by way of Bluetooth to the Dronetag App for flight administration proper after the touchdown. The applying is obtainable for iOS and Android.
“We’re rolling out software program options primarily based on the drone neighborhood suggestions. Now, our clients can use their Distant ID modules as flight trackers – and analyze their flights within the cellular app like we’re all used to from sports activities trackers. Spektrum receiver customers will admire utilizing BS as a positioning system, feeding dwell GPS knowledge concurrently with RID broadcasting.
We’re the one producer on the present market providing such a robust stack of sensible options for a one-off worth,“ explains Lukas Brchl.
FAA-Accepted Distant ID Resolution from the Worldwide Distant ID Main Supplier Dronetag BS was created for the neighborhood of American drone pilots aggravated by the FAA coverage forcing them to make use of Distant ID on their small or custom-made RC fashions and FPV drones. The Dronetag BS is suitable with any plane providing full Distant ID compliance for the USA (the place Distant ID can be required from the sixteenth of March 2024) and Europe and different nations the place the same coverage is deliberate or already in motion.
The Dronetag staff is on a mission to show the usefulness of RID, which many pilots nonetheless contemplate a bureaucratic annoyance. I’m positive that making drone flying slightly extra organized will assist us all – permitting superior industrial operations within the airspace whereas including new options that we, pilots, admire. And our newest technology of merchandise goes exactly this fashion, summarizes Lukas Brchl.
