Overview

The Makerfabs ESP32 UWB Pro with Display is an updated version of the ESP32 UWB Pro that adds an onboard 1.3-inch OLED display and LiPo battery charger. It pairs an ESP32-WROVER module with a Decawave DWM1000 ultra-wideband transceiver to enable secure, reliable ranging and precision sensing with centimeter-level accuracy at distances up to 200 meters (line of sight).

The board is designed for indoor positioning systems (RTLS), asset tracking, and distance measurement applications. Using UWB channels 2 and 5, the DWM1000 module provides IEEE 802.15.4-2011 compliant communication with time-of-flight ranging that is resistant to multipath interference — a significant advantage over WiFi or Bluetooth-based positioning approaches. The onboard OLED display shows real-time ranging data without requiring an external monitor.

With built-in WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 from the ESP32-WROVER, the board can relay positioning data over the network to a central server or dashboard. The integrated LiPo battery connector and charger circuit enable portable operation as a mobile tag or anchor node. Multiple boards can work together — configured as anchors and tags — to create a complete indoor positioning system using the provided Arduino example code for both indoor and outdoor positioning scenarios.
