Super Simple Electronic Tape Measure with UWB Time of Flight Sensor
In this video, I'm dipping my toes into UWB (Ultra WideBand) technology with the help of the Reyax RYUW122 modules to create a prototype of a "wireless" tape measure that can measure distances between two points.
The UWB modules are commonly used for indoor positioning, they have an accuracy of about 10 cm and when you have multiple of those, you can create a system that will calculate the precise position of an object, even without a line of sight.
My setup consists of two nodes, one tag and one anchor, where on the anchor node I also added an OLED screen to be able to display the measured distance. In an open field, the device successfully worked till the claimed 100 meters distance.

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode 18 днів тому

      You can use the 3.3k resistors that you already have. If it does not work, you have a mistake in your circuit. That small of a difference does not affect the function of the level shifter. You can use 3.3k and 300 Ohm in series to get the exact 3.6k but that won't make a difference at all if you have a mistake in the wiring!

    The variable "distance" might have string in front, when passing the 100 m, and in that case, toFloat would give 0 because it will not parse a number starting with string, and you get 0 cm. My guess is to see what it really has as value above 100 meters, then format accordingly.

    Is it possible to insert two temperature limits (upper and lower) in the code?

    • @jagiya2125
      @jagiya2125 Місяць тому

      Because if I don't set the lower limit, it will just result in a freezing temperature. (Btw, I will be using this in a cooling system)

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode Місяць тому

      You still need just one. If the current temperature is higher than what set on the thermostat, you turn on the cooling, until it is reached. When the target temperature is reached, you will turn off the cooling. Adding a second temperature will just enable it to work up to a certain range and once the temperature is above that, the thermostat will never kick in.

      The battery might be gone. When a lithium battery is bad, it will often go undervoltage and the protection circuit will turn the device off.

    Hello friend, I don't know much English, but I will try to explain my problem: , I tried to change the battery of a 14.4 v drill to lithium, I used recycled 18650 batteries (obviously tested and with the same voltage) and formed a 4s2p pack and bought 4s bms boards at 40 amps (balancer type), and on three occasions the plates did not withstand even a vacuum test: (without effort) I thought it would be a defect in the board but I ordered from another store and now that I tried a new one and did a vacuum test performance, suddenly I heard a small explosion, I ignored it and continued drilling, until I heard a second one so I assumed that something had happened in the BMS and yes, a mosfet exploded and the truth is physically you can't see anything else but I think that more than one component must have been damaged as well. In your videos it looks so simple (and it really is, it's not very scientific) and this is happening to me, I only did a vacuum test on the other boards and apparently the transistors that are responsible for balancing the cells are heating up too much ( one or two, not all) and when I load them with the imax6 I get "connection break". Can you explain to me what I'm doing wrong or what causes could cause this to happen or at least what should I do? I thank you in advance.P.S: There are more details to explain but I didn't want to go on too long, if you need more details let me know

    • @TasteTheCode
      @TasteTheCode Місяць тому

      Hey, sorry to hear that. I don't fully understand what you mean by vacuum test? If the MOSFETs are exploding, it means that you are trying to pull a lot more current through them than what they are rated for. Try going with much larger BMS, something like 100A.

    • @TasteTheCode

      No need to test it when you can see that it is bulged. If it looks ok, then you can test it as a second step. A good capacitor should never be bulged!
