- | <WRAP center round tip 80%> | + | TDoA 3 is part of the official Crazyflie and LPS Node firmware releases since 2018.10. |
- | **NOTE** | + | |
- | The TDoA3 mode is experimental. The protocol and implementation might change but is fairly stable. | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | To try it out you will have to do the following: | + | The Crazyflie |

+ | ===== Longer range and lower bitrate ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: this is experimental functionality that is not fully tested or might not work as expected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this mode the UWB bitrate is lower and the data of messages can be read at a longer distance. The packet rate will be reduced though. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Recompile the Crazyflie firmware with the LPS_LONGER_RANGE compile flag. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a setting for the bitrate in the Anchor configuration when connecting using USB. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Longer preamble ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: this is experimental functionality that is not fully tested or might not work as expected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is possible to use a longer preamble, this will also reduce packet rate. There is no compile flag for this setting, it requires some code modifications in the Crazyflie and the anchors. | ||
+ | The preamble is used by the anchor radios to detect messages and a longer preamble increase the probability and thus the useful distance. | ||
+ | Note that the radios might detect the preamble but fail at reading the data of the packet (see lower bitrate above). The " | ||

+ | ===== Sniffing ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sniffing the system is useful when you want to start digging into the radio messages exchanged between the anchor. It is a debug functionality. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If an anchor is configured to act as a sniffer, it can be used to listen to the UWB messages in the system. To set an anchor to sniffer mode, connect via USB and configure it to sniffer mode. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Basic sniffing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Connect the sniffer via USB and check in /dev which port that it uses. Use this as the first argument | ||
+ | The second argument is the output format, use yaml | ||
+ | example: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== TDoA 3 parsing ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Pipe the yaml into the TDoA 3 decoder to see TDoA 3 data unpacked | ||
+ | |||
+ | example: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This will show all data that the sniffer receives. To limit the output it is possible to filter which anchors to show. Add one or more ids at the end to only show data from only these anchors. | ||
- | ===== Longer range ===== | + | example: '' |
- | In this mode the UWB bitrate is lower and the messages will reach longer. | + | ==== Time of flight |
