DragonOS FocalX Updates to Real-time Decoding Drone Remote ID BT5 LR (Sniffle)

[@nitekry]

Thanks, I still need to flash mine. I am still using the Raytac Nordic NRF, it works great for my projects. But, I have not tried to focus on the DroneID sensing.

Man, watching these videos thinking, if only you also produced a version of DragonOS for ARM architecture!! There are a lot of Apple Silicone folks, and a lot more machines are now moving to ARM with the Snapdragon releases. Have you considered it? Would it be a challenge?

[@cemaxecuter7783]

I can sure try and find some time here soon to take that on. But I wonder how many versions would be needed?

[@petermarin]

@@cemaxecuter7783 I’m grateful for your care for this!! I honestly think that between your current x86 built and an ARM build (which covers all Apple devices released in the last 4 years + a growing set of computers), you’re covering all architectures people would love

[@ericks1979]

Do you flash the sonoff the same as you flashed the catsniffer?

[@cemaxecuter7783]

You’d follow this to the T so long as you have the correct version (different then CatSniffer) github.com/nccgroup/Sniffle?tab=readme-ov-file#firmware-installation-sonoff-usb-dongle

I try on DJI Avata and mavic 3 mini all with flashed sonoff Dongle plus but noting happend...(no output from tshark)

[@cemaxecuter7783]

I’m pretty certain that the mavic 3 only sends it over WiFi, not Bluetooth. I have to try to build a database of what drones transmit remote ID over what.. i.e WiFi, Bluetooth, both, network?

@@cemaxecuter7783 do u think is posible to sniff wifi id with a "simple" dongle?

[@cemaxecuter7783]

@innerfire369 yep, the same dissector can do WiFi when setup correctly with the right interface and settings. Check the main repo readme that I forked from and it has directions for sniffing WiFi remote id.

[@goeatsomelunch]

How about dumping that .json into your takserver

[@cemaxecuter7783]

For sure! Slowly working on it now.

[@innerfire369]

What type of drones can detect?

[@cemaxecuter7783]

Drones that are transmitting the mentioned Remote ID protocol, specifically the BT5 Long Range type transmission. As to exact models offering that type of transmission, I’m not sure. www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id There’s some info here on modules drone-remote-id.com/

@@cemaxecuter7783 Do you think Walmart and Amazon will be required to publicly-broadcast real time Remote ID like us mere hobbyists?

[@cemaxecuter7783]

Good question, there’s also another type that’s some networked version. I need to go read it again.
