Calculating locations using RSSI values PCA10040

[Usman Rashid]

Hi,

Do you have any ready made example or can you give me guidance about the program in which the location is calucated based on RSSI values of the beacons.

Basically, I have 4 beacon kit and one NRF32.

What I want is that NRF52 calculates the location based on RSSI values of beacons and I can then send that location to UART port of the PC.

I have already done this tutorial of yours devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

Hi,

We don't have any examples on how to use RSSI to calculate location/distance, since RSSI is not very suited for this. See this answer.

Well there are some solutions which claim ~1m indoors positioning accuracy based on RSSI when multiple beacons' sources or observers are used (+ some more magic on backend side), however it's logically field of few companies who invested big money, have load of patents and examples are not laying on the internet for free;)

Actually I've found one older study (Thesis) showing how doomed RSSI is for indoor location positioning but it can be good starting point...
