Hello,
Newbie question here i guess.
I would like to read UWB Estimote beacons (GitHub - Estimote/iOS-Estimote-UWB-SDK: iOS SDK and demo app for Estimote UWB Beacons)
info from laptop. Do i need something like usb dongle with uwb or some other technology or laptop is sufficient itself?
Is it possible?
The two sdks Estimote provides are IOS and Android only.
As mentioned by @sdetweil, currently there isn’t an Estimote SDK available for this. There also doesn’t seem to be a laptop with built-in UWB at the moment.
I suggest exploring alternatives such as using UWB with Arduinos. You can achieve UWB capabilities by utilizing serial communication via Arduino to the laptop (using Arduino with UWB module as a interface for ranging).
possibly, but you won’t be able to range with the estimote UWB beacons, as they have a proprietary activation mechanism (what the SDK does)
AND you have to do all the ranging communications.
possibly using a fira supporting beacon and the UCI interface over a serial connection…
I have used the Qorvo DWM3001CDK boards as controller/controllee(with fira firmware, not apple NI firmware) from a linux terminal window.
