The Loco Positioning Node is a versatile positioning device that can run either as an Anchor or Tag in a Loco Positioning system. The system measures the distance between Nodes and Tags, and from those distances, the absolute position of objects carrying Tags can be calculated.
Highlighted Features
- Supports Anchor, Tag, or Sniffer mode
- Can be used as a standalone system with some Nodes acting as Anchors and one or more nodes acting as Tags
- Multiple powering options
- Onboard MCU
