ESP32 UWB - Apple AirTag Like Indoor Location Tracking?

In this episode, we will learn a new ESP32 Board called the ESP32 UWB also known as ESP32 Ultra Wide Band. We will also look at a real-life example application of the board. The ESP32 UWB is a custom board made by Makerfabs specifically designed for Indoor Real-Time Location Tracking. It can be used to create AirTag Like devices

The battery life with these is horrendous. You'll need to lug a big power bank with your "tag" at all times. Check out DWM1001c ($30) or DWM1001DEV ($25) - it is a module that has the same DW1000 chip but instead of battery guzzling ESP32 it uses NRF52. It also has an accelerometer so your tag does not have to broadcast when stationary, further improving battery life.
Estimated battery life of a two-way ranging DWM1001c tag with a 400 mAh battery is around 200 days. With a transmit-only tag (TDoA mode) you'd get somewhere around 2-3 years on that. It also comes with location-tracking management system firmware (called PANS) that you can pretty much use out of the box.

do you have a link for the DWM1001c ($30) or DWM1001DEV ($25) ?

Prices are from Mouser Electronics (Canada) and LCSC. They have been out of stock a while ago, but now they’re back.

Can you please share guidelines to operate the DWM 1001 Module mentioned in the comments

Hello. I am trying to communicate two ultra wideband bu01 dw1000 chip using esp32 d1 mini without any breakout board. What i did was to etch a pcb board and only solder the necessary pins to communicate 2 uwb with each other. The pins soldered was the SPI pins (CLK, MOSI, MISO), CS pin ,IRQ pin, RSTn, VSS, and VDD3v3. But it just doesn't work. Any ideas why?

Good one navin 👏

[@chipindetail]

Thanks mahn

[@irfanmuneer3083]

Hi thanks. Can u please guide me I like to develop this in my factory

[@TecSanento]

Now we just need to add a gsp. Receiver to each anchor and we can build a GPS rtk system :)

[@TecSanento]

Like for rovers and such

[@chipindetail]

That will be amazing to have. Though Battery may take a hit!

[@TecSanento]

@@chipindetail you mean on the rover ? What’s the current draw of such a board

[@chipindetail]

@@TecSanento It can go upwards of 300mA

[@nikhilrobinson]

Nicely explained ✨🔥👍

[@chipindetail]

Thanks

Hi Naveen, thanks for the video! Is it technically possible to create a private RTLT using DWM3000 and AirTags both together ??

[@Bolleboos]

So you need 3 x a $40 device to test, right ?

[@chipindetail]

Sadly yes. Hopefully there should be cheaper alternatives in future.

[@remyaarvind9179]

👍👍

Thanks

[@weistrass]

What is the range in km?

[@chipindetail]

Uwn is not meant for long range. It's around 30-40m

[@stephencastro9262]

@@chipindetail How well does this work through drywall? Ex. the anchors are on the outside of a house and the tags are moving inside a 2,000sq.ft. house.

[@chipindetail]

@@stephencastro9262 It doesnt work well with walls. Please check out there latest offering with newer UWB chip

Hello Naveen, I would like to discuss few things with you, if you are okay. Just sent you a FB request.
