Dronetag has launched the second technology of their Distant ID broadcast module known as BS (Fundamental 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 dimension, BS is filled with know-how providing priceless options for pastime pilots (FPV & RC fashions). Dronetag now gives the BS module as a
standalone Combo bundle with enclosure, battery, charger, and antennas in a time-limited provide for a one-off value 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 cost effective choice to develop into Distant ID compliant prices pilots 85 USD at an official value level – see the comparability desk under or obtain. For the value of a single BigMac menu, prospects 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 gadget available on the market. Prospects can select to amass the BS Combo both by way of the Dronetag e-shop or discover the choices supplied by approved resellers, Drone Nerds, and NewBeeDrone.
There may be restricted inventory of the BS Combo obtainable and the provide is legitimate till March 16, 2024.
“Compliance has by no means been our solely objective. All through the creation strategy of the second-generation BS, we eagerly delved into the views and wishes shared by drone lovers and pastime pilots worldwide. We combed by means of boards, engaged in discussions, and carefully monitored social media to realize beneficial insights into what the drone neighborhood really wants. We then remodeled all this information right into a {hardware} part that pushes technological boundaries of the Distant ID market,” says Lukas Brchl, founder and CEO of Dronetag.
The BS makes pilots’ lives trouble-free because of 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 cell utility, the place all flight knowledge will be seen, 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 additional 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 favor 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 sometimes encountered interference points.
● IMPROVED POSITION OF LED
The LED positioned on the BS circuit board’s high facet helps examine whether or not the gadget is prepared visually.
● MORE MOUNTING OPTIONS
An M1.6 threaded column has been added to simplify mounting a plastic enclosure to the gadget circuit board. It can be used for numerous DIY mounts.
● SOLDER READY
As some pilots favor soldering their very own cables as a substitute of utilizing JST connectors, the brand new BS has solder pads on the underside facet of the circuit board.
● 2-IN-1 SOLUTION FOR POSITIONING AND RID
BS now helps each Spektrum XBUS and SRXL2. It could possibly additionally feed telemetry knowledge to Betaflight or related 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 beneficial payload of their plane. Pilots utilizing Spektrum receivers will admire prolonged compatibility
Dronetag BS can feed reside GPS knowledge to Spektrum receivers by means of XBUS and SRXL2, appearing as a GPS module. Additionally, connecting Dronetag BS to the Spektrum telemetry receiver will allow pilots to entry reside positioning knowledge resembling precise location, velocity, or peak.
One other space that has undergone enhancements is log and flight knowledge administration. The brand new BS moreover permits storing flight logs within the gadget’s inner flash reminiscence and importing them by way of Bluetooth to the Dronetag App for flight administration proper after the touchdown. The appliance is out there for iOS and Android.
“We’re rolling out software program options based mostly on the drone neighborhood suggestions. Now, our prospects can use their Distant ID modules as flight trackers – and analyze their flights within the cell app like we’re all used to from sports activities trackers. Spektrum receiver customers will admire utilizing BS as a positioning gadget, feeding reside GPS knowledge concurrently with RID broadcasting.
We’re the one producer on the present market providing such a strong stack of sensible options for a one-off value,“ explains Lukas Brchl.
FAA-Authorised 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 appropriate with any plane providing full Distant ID compliance for the USA (the place Distant ID will likely be required from the sixteenth of March 2024) and Europe and different nations the place an identical coverage is deliberate or already in motion.
The Dronetag workforce is on a mission to show the usefulness of RID, which many pilots nonetheless contemplate a bureaucratic annoyance. I’m certain that making drone flying a little bit 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.
About Dronetag:
