Loco positioning system

The Loco Positioning system (LPS) project is a set of hardware and software designed to implement a local positioning system. This wiki page aims at giving reference documentation for various parts of the system, for other documentation please see the following:

Terminology

To make the documentation easier to grasp there's a few terms that should be clear:

  • Deck and node: These refer to pieces of hardware (Loco positioning deck, Loco positioning node)
  • Tag and anchor: These refer to roles when ranging (i.g depending on configuration a node can act as either a tag or an anchor)
  • Ranging mode: The protocol used for communicating between tags/anchors to create a measurement for the range (i.g TWR or TDoA)

System overview

The local positioning system is based on the DecaWave DWM1000 module. The system consists of a number of anchors that are continuously pinged from the Crazyflie 2.0 deck that's based on the same module. The anchors are placed around the room at known positions.
