Software
The DW1000 Anchor will be shipped with a closed source demo-firmware.
Functionality of demo-firmware
- Shows data of received Tags on RS485-interface in a readable format:
- TAG-ID, distance, signal strength.
- If a TAG is inside a secure distance of 2 meter, the relay is triggered
- Fix HF-setup (channel, band width, transmitting power)
Working with the demo-firmware command mode
- Connect the DW1000 Anchor to your PC via RS485 (e.g. USB-RS485-Bridge)
- Connect VCC (9-48 V) and GND to DW1000 Anchor
- Start a terminal program (e.g. PuTTY, HTerm, Hyperterminal, ...) with 57600 baud and 8N1
- After opening the connection type "m" and press <Enter> once to display the menu
