Hello there! We have a project that requires our drone to align with our unmanned surface vehicle’s landing area. For this purpose we have thought of using 3 or 4 DWM3001CDKs (maybe 2 of them if that makes sense) as anchors and another one on the drone as a tag. With a setup like this, how much precision and what amount of simultaneity we can have? As the USV will be moving on the surface it’s important that we can read as realtime as possible values for the aligning.
Also, in this setup we are going to use Jetson Orin Nanos. Does it make sense to directly connect to this computer board or shall we use Arduinos per DWMs?
Please see the tutorial below that enables one to many ranging where the device on the drone could be the initiator and the devices on the landing pad could be the responders.
You can refer to Table 18 of the QM33110W Datasheet for the distance precision. This would also be relevant for the DWM3001C. With regards to your question about the size, the best recommendation would be to try it to see how it performs in your use case.
As we already have an MCU (nRF52833) in the DWM3001CDK, you can run the entire software there and just pipe over the ranging distances to your Jetson (using UART for example) so you would not need an Arduino in this case.
