I just got my first vehicle update notice when I powered my station and drone in about 9 months. I have been trying to find out what it's about but can't find anything. Is there any place to check update details that still works?
 
@joe@vertigodrones may have some insight on this.

I know the H520/520e and H850 are supposed to become RID compliant, so this may be an update that has them start broadcasting the required information.

All of the H series could be compliant with just a firmware update as all pertinent data is already contained in the telemetry data.

Does it also apply to h520 bought and flown in Europe?
Get update message every time I switch RC on but have been ignoring it. As long as my current firmware works for me I do not want any changes. I saw too many posts here saying that things went worse after update and asking for instructions how to step back to previous version.

I am also very careful about updates
Not much news on European regulations.
In the meantime, for France, my H 520 is equipped with a tag like this
 
The H520E and H520E-RTK will also have a software update and require a module added to its radio which will be field upgradeable. In all cases, there will be no charge to upgrade our solutions.”, said Liming Liu Senior Product Manager at Yuneec.

From the article of May 2021!

If it requires a module to be added, what is it and where do we get it?

Do you possibly have English description of how it works?
Where do you mount it on h520? Can you pls. share some puctures?
Understand that the device is powered by internal battery right?

The "dronavia" site has a tab in English but the instructions are only in French.
Operation is simple:
1. the beacon charges like a phone
2. it comes with a "velcro" that sticks to the drone
3. I hang it before each flight and put it in "on" mode
The beacon is delivered with a unique identification number.
I communicated this number to the state services when registering the drone.

Great, thx!
 
Too bad Yuneec is not providing anything to make the H520 compliant with the EU regulations... It would be a good drone to fly in the OPEN A2 category. However, in my opinion they completely abandonned the H520... Very sad and disappointing...

From my source in China Head Office Directly on Febuary 27.... But when looking at the log files for the Datapilot update...
## [v1.9.0-1.7.136]
### Changed
* Add opendroneid location broadcasting
* Add opendroneid operator id broadcasting
* Add opendroneid system broadcasting
* Add mavlink stream for open drone id basic id
* add S/N id to otp flash and storage in sd
* add user_id_write to write operation id,storage in sd

Here was the conversation
(me)
Do you know what Yuneec are doing about “Remote ID”? Here in Australia our drones have to support it from September.
(tech)
"we suggested them to do it long time ago"
(me)
So is there a firmware update they are working on or anything do you know?
(tech)
"no, they still have no plan on the Remote ID"



So I have NO IDEA what is actually happening!

Thanks for looking into this Haydn.

The sad part of this is that all of the H series aircraft could broadcast Remote ID with nothing more than a firmware update to put the information into the proper format to comply. It is sad they are not more supportive of their longtime customer base that helped propel them. I would even pay a modest fee for a firmware update that permitted RID without using an add-on module and kept the NFZ release intact (as long as it allowed you to exceed 400’ for doing inspections under §107 rules). I would consider $30 a modest price.
