🧪 New feature: sudo droneaware test

Run a sanctioned 60-second test flight directly from your node to verify your antenna, adapter, and detection pipeline are all working — without polluting the live map for other users.

sudo droneaware update   # get v1.1.0 first
sudo droneaware test     # run the test

What it does:

  • Checks with the DroneAware server that you're within rate limits (3-minute cooldown, 5 per hour)
  • Transmits a valid ASTM F3411-22a Remote ID beacon from your WiFi adapter tracing a small flight path around your node's coordinates
  • Your own node captures it, decodes it, and forwards it to the server
  • A test detection appears on your My Nodes page — visible only to you, filtered from the public live map
  • Confirms local reception and reports result
sudo droneaware test --dry-run   # check availability without transmitting

Also in this release:

  • Binaries now included in every release so binary version always matches installer version
  • FW_VERSION reads from /opt/droneaware/version at runtime (set to 1.1.0 on update)

Full binary release.
