UWB 3 Click is a compact add-on board that brings Ultra-Wideband communication to your application. This board features the DWM3001, a fully integrated UWB transceiver module from Qorvo. The module integrates the DW3110 IC, nRF52833 MCU, planar UWB antenna, accelerometer, power management, and crystal. It is a fully calibrated, tested, and validated design. This Click board™ makes the perfect solution for the development of precision real-time location systems (RTLS) using two-way ranging or TDoA schemes in various markets, location-aware wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and more.

We provide a library for the UWB 3 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for UWB 3 Click driver.
uwb3_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void uwb3_cfg_setup ( uwb3_cfg_t *cfg );
uwb3_init
Initialization function.
err_t uwb3_init ( uwb3_t *ctx, uwb3_cfg_t *cfg );
uwb3_send_cmd
This function sends a specified command to the Click module.
void uwb3_send_cmd ( uwb3_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd );
uwb3_send_cmd_with_parameter
This function sends a command with specified parameter to the Click module.
void uwb3_send_cmd_with_parameter ( uwb3_t *ctx, uint8_t *cmd, uint8_t *param );
uwb3_reset_device
This function resets the device by toggling the RST pin state.
void uwb3_reset_device ( uwb3_t *ctx );
This example demonstrates the use of an UWB 3 Click board by showing the communication between the two Click boards.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and configures the Click board for the selected application mode.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
uwb3_cfg_t uwb3_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

Reads and processes all incoming ranging block messages and displays them on the USB UART. One Click board should be configured to initiator mode and the others to responder 1 or 2. The initiator Click displays the address and distance of each responder nodes, while the responder Click boards displays the address and distance of the initiator Click board.
void application_task ( void )
{
if ( UWB3_OK == uwb3_process( &uwb3 ) )
{
if ( UWB3_OK == uwb3_parse_ranging_block ( ) )
{
uwb3_clear_app_buf( );
}
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.UWB3
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
