Checklist before starting the system:
IA and NIA SW differs
For IA you should use stationary beacons with different frequencies
‒ Make sure that you use correct SW. Inverse Architecture(IA) SW for Inverse
system, Non-Inverse Architecture(NIA) SW for Non-Inverse system (Architectures
comparison)
‒ Make sure that your beacons are 3.5V and higher before using. If not, charge it
for 2-3 hours.
‒ Keep modem 1-2m away from beacons. if closer, the beacons radio may be
overloaded
‒ Antenna’s recommendations:
‒ The antenna must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will
reduce the effective range
‒ The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as
metal and carbon by at least a half inch
‒ Keep the antennas away from the motors and other noise sources as
much as possible
‒ Use USB cable with long metal part. If you have any problems with USB
connection, change the cable first. One cable can work for one beacon and do
not work for other
‒ Be sure that you use SW from the same pack
‒ When updating the SW, please, press Default button to make sure that beacons
really have default settings. Otherwise, modem may be calling on a wrong
channel or something
‒ Start with simple configuration (10x10m square, 4 stationary beacons)
‒ Do not obstruct line of sight between beacons
‒ Build the map first, freeze it, then wake up the “hedge”
‒ Number of periods. By default – 5; For longer distances, you shall put it 10-50
Mini-RX beacon may be over discharged. In that case do the following:
‒ Turn off the beacon with DIP switches
‒ Charge it for 1 hour
‒ Turn the beacon on, flash the latest SW via DFU Programming and charge it for 1
hour again
