same here
interesting I see repeated connects, but no disconnects.

really need some help here

the sample app does the same, wait… it requests nearby permissions. WHOA!..

so are the vector values (x: y: z:) angles or ??

EstimoteUWB.Vector(x: -0.25937724, y: 0.56309617, z: -0.78463125))

is negative right? /down/behind?
so in this case the beacon is right and 78.4 degrees behind? (which would be approx right) and distance is roughly how far…
top of the phone is 0?

new scan today, phone and beacons have moved

“position device= UWBDevice(8ff093967378b3839d6298212516b53e - 2.6372447 - Optional(EstimoteUWB.Vector(x: 0.43450937, y: 0.3709552, z: -0.82044685))”
vector = {“x”:0.43450937,“y”:0.3709552,“z”:-0.82044685}

but… these seem wrong… beacon is right and behind/down… phone is laying horizontal

other device not giving positioning events

@Miriam can you get us some help here? there is no doc on the values in the UWB SDK

4

this is one beacon that the Estimote UWB app says is straight ahead (phone flat, top of phone pointing towards wall on other wide of room… beacon sitting on table there, slightly right and down of centerline/ so x and y should be negative (right and down) , or close to 0, z should be positive (forward)

position updated for device: Optional(EstimoteUWB.Vector(x: 0.57700413, y: -0.5835211, z: -0.57001185)) 1.7239199

UWB app says can’t find unless beacon is ‘in front’ of phone
