ESP32 UWB(Ultra Wideband)
Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a short-range, wireless communication protocol that operates through radio waves, enables secure reliable ranging and precision sensing, creating a new dimension of spatial context for wireless devices.
Makerfabs ESP32 UWB module is based on DW1000, it acts like a continuously scanning radar, that precisely locks onto another device (called Anchor) and communicates with it, thus calculating its own location. Once the device is near another UWB device, the devices start “ranging.” Ranging refers to calculating the time of flight (ToF) between devices: the roundtrip time of challenge/response packets.
The new version ESP32 UWB DW3000 is interoperable with Apple U1 chip, which makes it possible to work with the Apple system.
Besides, with ESP32 WiFi connection, it can easily report its location to the remote receiver, so the receiver can monitor its latest location.
Features:
*** Note that for open hardware, Makerfabs provide tested hardware/related files and basic usage demos.
For UWB(and UWB Pro/Pro with Display), Makerfabs’ demo usage based on mf-DW1000 lib:https://github.com/Makerfabs/Makerfabs-ESP32-UWB
For UWB DW3000, the lib:https://github.com/Makerfabs/Makerfabs-ESP32-UWB-DW3000
But very note that the libs are mainly for demo, do not support time-multiplexing. If customer will use them with multiple anchors/tags, please ensure you have related knowledge for this coding,Makerfabs can not provide tech support on this.
While Makerfabs MaUWB support 8 anchors + 64 tags with onboard STM32 firmware support. For users not familiar with UWB tech, We suggest the MaUWB to easy project implement.
