Building from Sources under linux

Step1: get prerequisites

  • sudo apt install arduino
  • pip install pymavlink

Step2: get code

  • cd ~
  • git clone https://github.com/ardupilot/arduremoteid
  • cd arduremoteid/
  • git submodule init
  • git submodule update --recursive
  • ./scripts/install_build_env.sh
  • ./scripts/regen_headers.sh
  • ./scripts/add_libraries.sh

Building with make and arduino-cli

Step1: Use make to install ESP32 support

  • cd RemoteIDModule
  • make setup

Step2: Use make to build

  • cd RemoteIDModule
  • make

Step3: Use make to upload

  • cd RemoteIDModule
  • make upload

If the board does not flash, hold-down the BOOT pushbutton on the PCB while pressing the RESET pushbutton briefly [to force it into bootloader mode] and retry. The ESP32-S3 is now running and emitting test/demo remote-id bluetooth

If you get an error about missing serial support from python, install it with python -m pip install pyserial.

Optional

Plugin your ep32-s3 with ANOTHER usb cable using the port labeled "UART" on the pcb - this is where mavlink and debug is coming/going, and you can connect to this with mavproxy, etc.

Plugin your ep32-s3 into a flight-controller UART using pins RX(17)/TX(18)/GND on the pcb - this listens for mavlink from an autopilot, and expects to find REMOTE_ID* packets in the mavlink stream, and it broadcast/s this information from the drone as bluetooth/wifi on 2.4ghz in a manner that can be received by Android mobile phone App [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.opendroneid.android_osm] and hopefully other open-drone-id compliant receivers.

Plugin your ep32-s3 into a flight-controller CAN port by wiring a standard CAN Tranciever (such as VP231 or similar) to pins 47(tx),38(rx),GND on the pcb.

Setup/Configuration of ArduPilot/Mavlink/CAN to communicate together is not documented here, please go to ArduPilot wiki for more, eg: https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-remoteid.html
