Hardcoded TDoA mode

Post by IDaniele »

Hi, I'm using anchors for TDoA location exclusively.
Could you tell me which changes I should do to this code https://github.com/bitcraze/lps-node-firmware for the anchors to run in TDoA mode skipping the normal set up?

Also, with just one anchor will it still send the normal TDoA packet? (I know it won't work... just for convenience in the first stage of work)

Thank you! :D

Hi, You can configure your anchors in TDOA mode from the serial console: https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:lps:n ... g_the_node. Just press 'h' for help. There is a new mode menu available with 'm' that will allow you to set TDoA mode. The seetings are saved in the node so it will be kept, you have no need to recompile a new firmware just to set the anchors in TDoA mode.

In TDoA mode, the anchor 0 will transmit packets. The other anchors will wait for a packet from anchor 0 to start sending packets. So as long as you have anchor 0 powered ON you will have packets transmitted in the air.
