Hello,
Has anyone been able to successfully connect the DW3001CDK to an external microcontroller to use? Specifically using the Raspberry Pi headers and SPI.
Thanks!
The DWM3001CDK already has a microcontroller on board which is a Nordic nRF that communicates via SPI to the DWM3110. Communicating to the DWM3001CDK is typically via USB to the nRF microcontroller with a terminal software. There is the possibility to communicate with a Raspberry Pi via USB to the DWM3001CDK if that’s an option for you.
Hi James,
Yes I’ve been able to use the Command Line Interface (CLI) just to test two-way ranging. However, I’d like to actually use a Raspberry Pi to have the code logic and communicate directly with the chip, but I’m not sure if this is possible.
Using the DWM3001CDK you won’t be able to achieve this but the QM33120WDK1 would allow you to communicate via SPI to the UWB IC directly.
You can use the exposed SPI to nRF52833 of the DWM3001CDK, so you can have a SPI from nRF52833 to DW3001 and other SPI from nRF52833 to RasPi. In this way you would use nRF52833 as a ‘buffer’ among DW3001 and RasPi.
