Xplr-aoa-1 Exploration tool. The new kit makes it easy to evaluate the potential of Bluetooth 5.1 direction finding and high-precision indoor positioning, allowing applications such as collision detection, access control, smart appliances and asset tracking. It's a new tool u-Blox purchased in Mouser
The kit includes an antenna plate with u-Blox Nina-B411 Bluetooth low power module, a transmitter tag with Nina-B406 Bluetooth low power module, and u-ConnectLocate direction finding software. The software runs directly on the embedded Nordic semiconductor nRF52833 SoC of The Nina-B411 module, and the AoA of the input signal can be calculated without further processing.
Engineers can produce a complete positioning system by combining several kits and triangulating directions from three or more antenna plates. Applications include detecting whether people or objects are approaching doors, avoiding collisions between moving objects, and pointing cameras at moving labels.
