GitHub repository ↗

Low-cost open hobbyist board pairing an ESP32 with a Qorvo DW3000 (DW3110) UWB transceiver — the accessible way to bring up two-way ranging and tag/anchor positioning experiments in the Arduino/ESP-IDF ecosystem. Open example firmware and an Arduino DW3000 library ship in the Makerfabs GitHub repo. A development/ranging board, not a turnkey sniffer; use it to learn the radio, characterise a scheme's parameters, or build a controllable peer for authorised testing.

COMPATIBLE SOFTWARE & PROJECTS

DW3000 driver / firmware (foldedtoad port) PROJECT open source (Callender), on Qorvo dwt_uwb_driver repo ↗

An open port of Qorvo/Decawave's DWM3000 driver and ranging examples (the dwt_uwb_driver API) to the DWS3000 Arduino shield, runnable under Zephyr. The practical glue for bringing up a DW3000 board, configuring its 802.15.4z PHY parameters (channel, preamble, PRF, STS mode), and running two-way-ranging exchanges you can log — the dev-board path for capturing/characterising ranging behaviour. A development driver, not an attack tool.
