A ROS package containing a hardware driver for Decawave's DWM1001 Development Board and a ROS node wrapper that exposes the sensor driver to the ROS ecosystem.
The hardware driver for the DWM1001 sensor is ROS-agnostic, meaning it provides a clean functional interface to the sensor that can be used on any system independent of ROS. The driver utilizes UART over a USB connection for serial communication between the sensor and OS. Additionally, the ROS node simply wraps around the driver and connects the sensor data to ROS topics.
- Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
- ROS Kinetic
- Decawave's DWM1001 Development Kit (x5 recommended: 1 tag, 4 anchors)
