 ====== TDoA 3 set up ====== ====== TDoA 3 set up ======
  
-<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. +
-</WRAP> +

-===== Compile and flash ===== +
- +
-To try it out you will have to do the following: +
- +
-==== The Crazyflie ==== +
- +
-  * Get the latest source code for the firmware from [[https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-firmware]]. Make sure the git submodules are updated +
-  * Flash the Crazyflie with ''make cload'' script.+
  
 The Crazyflie will automatically detect that the positioning system is using TDoA3 and switch to the correct mode. The Crazyflie will automatically detect that the positioning system is using TDoA3 and switch to the correct mode.

 ===== Setting anchor positions ===== ===== Setting anchor positions =====
  
-Anchor positions can be set by the python client but it only supports ids 0-7. If you want to use more anchors there is a tool that can be used in the lps-node-firmware repo. +Anchor positions can be set by the python client or the tool in the lps-node-firmware repo. 
- +You might have to move the Crazyflie close to all anchors to transfer the positions from the Crazyflie. 
-The tool uses a Crazyflie as a bridge to transmit UWB messages to the anchors. When it is started it transmits positions for all anchors over and over, +
- +
-  * Create a file with your anchor positions, see tools/lpp/positions_example.yaml +
-  * Start the Crazyflie +
-  * Pipe the position file into the tool ''cat my_position_file.yaml | python3 tools/lpp/set_positions.py'' +
-  * Move the Crazyflie close to all anchors to transfer the positions+

 ===== Longer range and lower bitrate ===== ===== Longer range and lower bitrate =====

 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. 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 both Crazyflie and anchors with the LPS_LONGER_RANGE compile flag.+Recompile the Crazyflie firmware with the LPS_LONGER_RANGE compile flag.

 +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. It is possible to use a longer preamble, this will also reduce packet rate.
