Key Features
The host MCU is based on the Microchip’s MCU SAM E70, a high-performance 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M7 processor that provides connectivity via 10/100 Ethernet MAC with IEEE 1588. An integrated ATWINC1500 Wifi module - a low-power consumption 802.11 b/g/n IoT (Internet of Things) module, Specifically optimized for low-power IoT applications, and Supports IEEE 802.11 WEP, WPA and WPA2 security. The Ultra-Wideband Sub-system runs on Qorvo’s DWM1001C module that integrates DW1000 Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transceiver IC and Nordic Semiconductor MCU with Bluetooth nRF52832:
Ranging accuracy to within +-20cm.
UWB Channel 5 printed PCB antenna (6.5 GHz)
6.8 Mbps data rate IEEE 802.15.4-2011 UWB compliant.
Integrates UWB and Bluetooth® antenna and all RF circuitry.
Integrated Motion sensor: 3-axis accelerometer.
Supports Ethernet or WIFI connectivity with the LEAPS Server.
Contains a status LED and the UWB status LED.
Supplies the power from a USB cable (5 VDC) or an external source (7~32 VDC).
A complete software package free of charge that includes software infrastructure, configuration and visualization tools (with support for various platforms from Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms).
An open online documentation and community forum.
