[TriEmbed] Interesting Kickstarter open source indoor/outdoor xyz ranging modules

[Ken Boone]

Kickstart info below this comment.

I started out experimenting/learning  with a Knight-Kit 10 in 1 vacuum tube
kit.

It's amazing what technologies and resources are now available for
students, hobbyists and garage/basement experimenters/inventors.

More on the ranging modules.

The modules uses fixed location nodes for xyz ranging of moving nodes or
for your swarm distances between moving nodes.

Wonder what's the maximum range?

Might need to resurrect my robotic lawnmower which needed a better ranging
system.

"The Ranger Boards accurately determine the distance between one and other
through phase shift/difference measurement and accurate timing techniques
in the onboard Atmel AT86RF233 chipset. This is similar to how laser range
finders work, except instead of light it uses 2.4GHz radio frequencies. The
multiple antennas on board allow for multiple out of phase measurements to
mitigate multipath effects, to best determine the distance between the
Ranger Boards."

Create - dream, imagine, experiment - Create. .............
