Intended Use
The Cube ID_CAN is primarily intended for drone manufacturers to integrate into their systems for regulatory compliance. It is not generally marketed as an add-on for hobby or individual commercial users, who might require a self-contained unit with an integrated GPS.
The module can be set up and configured using ground station software like Mission Planner, which includes a specific tab for OpenDroneID operation and location data from the flight controller's GPS.
