Unable to pair DWM1000

Rituraj · ‎2024-10-17

I am trying to use DWM1000 for ranging as well as communication but I am unable to do it . I debugged the code and Know that Initiator is sending data but is not being heard . The Rx buffer in responder is geting updated by random values.
I have attached the code to both here . If anyone could help it will be very helpful.

Again, I would strongly suggest that you get one - then you have a known-good starting point.

You are also far more likely to get support on that than on some unknown custom setup.

Hello @Rituraj ,

Better to attach the code with zip/rar instead of Google drive.

Thank you for your understanding.

You mean this: https://www.qorvo.com/products/p/DWM1000 ?

Did you see their Application Note APS022, "Debugging DW1000-Based Products and Systems" ?

Have you contacted Qorvo for support: https://www.qorvo.com/support/technical-support ?

How do you know that?

Is it sending valid data?

Rituraj · ‎2024-10-18

@Andrew Neil I know that it because an array is being sent and it is hardcoded , also every time transmission happend a variable is incremented . So I wrote on that basis.
I tried connecting at QORVO but did not get a response.

@mƎALLEm will make that sure next time.

Does that guarantees that any radio transmission actually took place?

Rituraj · ‎2024-10-18

I have been working under the assumtion that it means so. Is there a way to check if the transmission is actully taking place.

You'd have to ask Qorvo that.

Did you look at their App Note?

Rituraj · ‎2024-10-18

Yes I did have look at application notes but did not find the answer

Andrew Neil · ‎2024-10-18

The App Note is titled, "Debugging DW1000-Based Products and Systems".

I wouldn't expect that to provide the answer - just tell you how to find problems ...
