Regarding the UWB Tags (only product currently offered on estimote.com), where is the programming IDE?
The DEV kit box mentions it:
The current homepage shows an image of it, but there is no obvious way to access it.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Ean,
here you can find all the documentation: LTE Beacon: Micro-app API reference [0.2.19] - Estimote Developer
However, at the beginning, I was lost in getting the beacons to work (I finally managed to do it). We have been waiting for a response from the Estimote team since 28 October and have had no luck.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much for your reply Aurora. It seems that the current UWB Tags must be similar to the LTE Beacons.
Do you know if there is a way to communicate with the Tags/Beacons locally, without Estimote adding them to the cloud account? I bought them with the same email address as I’m using on Cloud.Estimote.com, so I think that they should be on the account, and I’d like for them to be on the account, but so far I have not been able to reach anyone at Estimote to fix that. Each of my Tags seems to be reachable by Bluetooth, but they won’t connect because they are not on the account. Is there anything that I can do with these tags until the account problem is fixed?
Thanks again!
Ean,
unfortunately there is no other way and if you can’t find UWB Tags under the Cloud account created with an email you used during the purchase we need to re-assign them there.
We did it for your and assigned them to the email starting with nn@…
Here is JavaScript API to program them: LTE Beacon: Micro-app API reference [0.2.19] - Estimote Developer
If you want to test UWB please look for uwb.start() method.|
You can for example change role to dual and upload the code to two tags, so you can test ranging between them:
uwb.start(uwb.Role.DUAL, {timeout: 0, panId: 0x3333 }, (measurement) => {
print(`id=${measurement.id} distance=${measurement.dist}`) // printing distance
})
Fantastic, that works perfectly. These things are so cool!
