idME uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) to provide surveillance and drone operator identification capability via modern mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. The module can be easily connected to the Pixhawk drone controller via a JST connector.
For full operation, idME can be connected to a position source and can obtain GPS data and other parameters via the MAVLink protocol. AT commands allow configuration of broadcast message content such as drone identification number and type of aircraft, and additional authentication mechanisms are available. The device’s small form factor and low power consumption make it ideal for even the smallest drones.
