the module to UAV by regular sticker or soft sticker (with slightly vibration
isolation).
Keep the antenna away from the propeller.
Settings
Remark: Cube ID has not been ready on standard APM firmware . Must create
OpenDroneID firmware. Please check following web for build the firmware:

- Connect the flight controller to computer via USB cable. Open Mission Planner (latest version). Install the OpenDroneID firmware firmware by “Load custom firmware”.
- Go to “Full Parameter List” and find “DID_ENABLE”. Change it to “1” to enable ODID.
- 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 and change it to mavlink)
- Go to Mission Planner 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
Testing
Download DroneScanner for IOS, OpenDroneID or DroneScanner for Android to detect and monitor nearby UAVs.
