Hardware instructions #8

Hello there.

We have the MDEK1001 kit of DecaWave and we realized that it's API doesn't allow us to control the transmission in any way we want or run our own custom code, and we were wondering about how exactly can we do just that. Do we have to purchase DW1000 devices on their own and make our own boards? Can we use the MDEK1001 kit at all? Any info you might have, instructions, hardware tips, etc, would be really helpful.

Thank you in advance!

I have never worked with the MDEK1001 kit but If you have the schematic and the compiler for the MDEK1001 MCU you should be able to write your own firmware and use either the official Decawave SDK or this lib.

To use this lib the only thing you need to provide is a set of function to access the SPI bus, then you can use the lib to communicate with the DW1000, see https://github.com/bitcraze/libdw1000#ops.
