Tag's communication with Anchors

Wireless Connectivity Ultra-Wideband
1

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to tell the Tag to listen/ communicate with certain Anchors only.
In other words, can we modify the Tag’s firmware to make it communicate to certain anchors and not others? (in a large area where multiple anchors are present)

Thanks,
Varn

Hi Varn,

This is not supported by the default firmware, and I don’t think there is any way you can modify the anchor selection.

You could explore using a different PAN id for clusters and anchors and creating a user app in the tag firmware allowing it to change it’s pan id depending on the anchors you want it to range it. It is a bit of a hack though, but I don’t think there is another wya to perform what you wan twith PANS.

Thanks

Hi , i have dwm1001c modules , i am able to get tag location data . Is there any way other than using App , to communicate from tag to anchor and send tag location to anchor and read at anchor end and send it to cloud. can we use dwm_user_read() and dwm_user_write()?

Hi @sudha
please start with the guide first 8-). There is no way how to send data between anchors and tags. But if you need to exchange data with computer then you need to use gateway(s).
