Cube ID


Cube ID is small size (25mm * 13.75mm * 3.5mm ) Remote ID which broadcasting information about UAVs in fligh through a Bluetooth 5.2 dual-mode unit, supports both CAN and serial protocols.
Users can write different codes with one Cube ID only, to adapt to multiple UAVs based on their needs.
CubeID is FCC and CE certified.

Connect the CAN or Serial port on module and flight controller with the suitable cable(we provide 4 Pin CAN cable,6 Pin and 8 pin Serial cable) . Stick the module to UAV by regular sticker or soft sticker (with slightly vibration isolation).
*Keep the antenna away from the propeller.
For OEM use, you must create your OEM OpenDroneID Ardupilot firmware ,please checkFor normal user please load latest Ardupilot firmware.
- 1.Connect the flight controller to computer via USB cable. Open Mission Planner(latest version). Install the OpenDroneID firmware firmware by "Load custom firmware".

- 2.Go to "Full Parameter List" and find "DID_ENABLE". Change it to "1" to enable ODID.

- 3.Go to "Full Parameter List" and find "CAN_P1_DRIVER". Change it to "1" to enable CAN.

(or if you use serial port ,find Serialx_PROTOCAL ,change it to mavlink and make the baud rate to 57600)

- 4.Go to MissionPlanner homepage select Drone ID to set (1)UAS ID* (2)UAD ID Type and (3)UA Type

to set (1)UAS ID (2)UAD ID Type and (3)UA Type

Go to Operation to set (1)Operator ID , (2)Oper ID Type , (3)Self ID DESC and (4)Self ID Type

Download DroneScanner for IOS, OpenDroneID or DroneScanner for Android to detect and monitor nearby UAVs.
Operator are able to check UAV's location, ID , operator ID, distance from operator , ect by using these APP.
For more information about Remote ID, you may check in Wiki:
- Inside Mission Planner Go to Setup > Optional Hardware > DroneCAN/UAVCAN and establish mavcan connection depending on which CAN port you are connected.

- CubeID should appear as com.cubepilot.cubeid in the list, click Menu > Update to start the update process, Mission Planner will fetch the latest firmware binary automatically and start the process

Note: If you want to use different tool to update CubeID CAN module, you can get the latest firmware from https://firmware.cubepilot.org/UAVCAN/com.cubepilot.cubeid/1.0/firmware.bin
- Start Mission Planner with CubeID connected to one of the Telem ports of Cube and the cube connected via USB. Ensure that you start connection with Baud rate as 57600.
- Select Serial Port number where CubeID is connected (Telem1 is Serial 1 and Telem2 is Serial 2).

- Select ODID TX RX device from the Top left corner list.

- Finally click Update Firmware. The firmware update can take few minutes.

Caution: The user is cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
