Mouser offers explorer kit to evaluate u-blox location hardware and software
To evaluate the potential of Bluetooth 5.1 direction finding and high precision indoor positioning for access control, collision detection, smart home appliances and asset tracking, the u-blox XPLR-AOA-1 Explorer Kit for Bluetooth Direction Finding is available from Mouser.
The u-blox XPLR-AOA-1 Explorer Kit contains an antenna board with a u-blox NINA-B411 Bluetooth Low Energy module, transmitter tag with NINA-B406 Bluetooth Low Energy module and u-connectLocate direction finding software. The software runs directly on the NINA-B411 module’s embedded Nordic Semiconductor nRF52833 SoC, calculating the angle of arrival (AoA) of the incoming signals with no additional processing required.
Engineers can combine several XPLR-AOA-1 kits and triangulate directions from three or more antenna boards to create a full positioning system. Target applications include detecting whether a person or an object is approaching a door, avoiding collisions between moving objects, and directing a camera at a moving tag.
