Some questions during the development of a DF project using the nRF52833DK:
-
Will excessive serial output affect the performance of the microcontroller? For example, I am using Putty, and initially, the microcontroller seems to execute tasks normally. However, after some time, it becomes difficult to re-establish the connection. Could this be related to the Putty console getting stuck due to too much information being printed?
-
Does the performance of the microcontroller relate to the performance of the computer receiving the serial information? For example, will the microcontroller perform better when connected to a new computer compared to a seven-year-old unmaintained computer?

During the execution of the DF process, I found an issue: when setting antenna_patterns to antennas 1, 2, 3, 4 (with antenna 1 being the first antenna, that is, the communication antenna), the connection estiablishing is more efficient when antennas 1 and 2 form an acute angle with the direction of the signal source. Conversely, when antennas 1 and 2 form an obtuse angle with the direction of the of the signal source, establishing the connection costs a long time.
My entire workflow shouldn't have any major issues I think, since I can get seemingly correct AoA and AoD using the MUSIC algorithm. I am just puzzled by these three points as I am somewhat new to this. I hope to get some answers!
