- Example of proper positioning of the mobile beacon can be found here:
https://youtu.be/PFgNPkLGCDk
- The beacon is placed horizontally and above other objects that can cast a shadow on
the stationary beacons
- Keep the radio signal’s strength under control
- The RSSI (Dashboard => right menu) of any beacon/modem must not be higher than
-25dBm. Otherwise, the system may malfunction
It is recommended the distance between the modem and beacons
be no less than 0.5–1m. Beacons can be placed as close to each
other as needed. If a beacon is extremely close to the modem,
disconnect the antenna from the beacon. Monitor the Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). It must be in the range of -25 to -
70dBm. An RSSI of less than -70dBm will work too, but packet
losses may start occurring. The quality of the radio connection very
much depends on external interference as well because the used
band is ISM (either 915MHz or 433MHz) and there are numerous
co-existing systems.
Use 30 - 50 periods (pulses) in settings instead of the default 5.
Select:
Ultrasound settings => Number of periods
When you have large errors in position estimation (more than a 1m
inaccuracy), use the embedded Oscilloscope on Dashboard =>
View to determine which stationary beacon is jammed
Reduce the gain of the ultrasonic manually depending on your
system
