I figured some settings were just not there, but the many many manuals and guides mention several ways of improving range, battery efficiency, etc.
For our need, it would be ideal to just turn it on and use it, but despite reading about a 30 m-50 m out-of-the-box range, we were not able to make it past 15 m, which was a point for concern.
I fiddled with the transmit power which is available through the API. I based values on the tables available at the DW1000 documentation.
I don’t like empirically changing values and seeing what they do, specially because I don’t know how effective range and power efficiency is supposed to be measured. I mean, I am almost taking the modules to the street for longer distances, and I don’t think that and guessing values is a trustable way of testing stuff.
Anyways, thanks, I know now that I better try to push the PANS firmware to its limits to see if it works as is. I was wondering if there was a way to at least check the settings I am not able to change, like the channel, preamble, smart power status, power transmission frequency, etc.
