Overview

This comprehensive tutorial from how2electronics walks through building a complete UWB indoor location positioning system using ESP32 and DW1000 modules. It covers the fundamentals of UWB positioning, hardware setup with Makerfabs ESP32 UWB boards, and the software needed to calculate 2D positions from distance measurements.

What You'll Learn

  • How UWB positioning works with anchors and tags
  • Setting up multiple Makerfabs ESP32 UWB modules as anchors
  • Programming the tag to measure distances to each anchor
  • Calculating 2D position using trilateration
  • Displaying position data

Hardware Used

  • Makerfabs ESP32 UWB modules (compatible with ESP32 UWB Pro with Display)
  • DW1000 UWB transceiver (integrated on the Makerfabs boards)
  • USB cables for programming
