Which drones are compatible with pingRID?
pingRID is universally compatible and can be attached to nearly any drone or UAV airframe.
How do I install pingRID onto my drone?
Attach the module using the included 3M Dual-Lock™ fastener, ensuring the label faces upward to achieve optimal GPS reception.
Does pingRID need an external power source? the AoA?
No external power source is required. pingRID includes an internal rechargeable Li-ion battery. Optionally, it can be powered continuously via USB-C from your drone’s power supply.
What FAA regulations does pingRID comply with?
pingRID meets FAA Part 89 Remote ID regulations and ASTM F3411-22a standards. It is accepted by the FAA under Means of Compliance (MOC) RID-ASTM-F3586-22-NOA-22-01.
Do I have to register pingRID with the FAA?
Yes. Assign your pingRID’s unique serial number to your drone’s registration through the FAA DroneZone.
What happens if I fly without Remote ID?
Without compliant Remote ID, you are restricted to flying in FAA-recognized identification areas (FRIAs). Operating elsewhere without Remote ID compliance can result in regulatory action.
How long does pingRID's battery last during operation?
Over 2 hours on a single full charge.
How can I tell when my pingRID is ready to fly?
The status LED will indicate solid green once a valid GNSS position lock is acquired, signaling readiness for takeoff.
Can pingRID be charged while flying?
Yes, pingRID can be continuously powered and charged during flight via USB-C from your drone’s onboard power supply.
How do I maintain pingRID?
pingRID requires minimal maintenance, primarily cleaning with a soft microfiber cloth. It is not waterproof and should not be operated in inclement weather.
My pingRID shows a rapidly flashing LED. What should I do?
Four rapid LED flashes indicate a self-test error. If this persists after power cycling the device, please contact uAvionix support.
