[Academic Project] How to implement: 'Closed area navigation' system using nRF52833

[Eitan zair]

Hi All.

In my final project (Electrical engineering) I'm trying to create a Closed area navigation system using AoA/AoD methods.
(e.g.,

I found many explanations and overviews on how the technology works - 

But I'm looking for some kind of practical guide on how to get the location of my peripheral (or my other DK) using the nRF52833.

What I've done so far?

• I have the nRF52833 DK
• I've managed to connect the DK to the PC
• I've managed to burn some basic scripts to the DK using SES (Segger Embedded Studio)
• I've installed nRF Connect on my PC.
  
  

Thanks! Eitan.

Hello,

Letting you know I have been assigned to this case and am looking into this.

But I'm looking for some kind of practical guide on how to get the location of my peripheral (or my other DK) using the nRF52833.

AFAIK, you need to come up with your own Algorithm for doing this. I don't think Nordic have a practical guide which I can point to. As a starting point you can look into our Direction finding tutorials and references. There might be different options to determine a position like Skew lines, Ray casting etc... This you need to choose and work depending on the accuracy you need, easiness of implementation etc.

I will try to provide little more references in the coming days. And I also suggest you to work with VSCode instead of segger, as our latest sdk don't support segger anymore.

You can refer to this tutorial for installing and working with VScode.

Kind Regards,
