Abstract
UCO DWM1001 is a free software developed to facilitate the work with DWM1001-DEV, one of the most widely used ultra-wideband (UWB) development boards. The software is designed to process, display, and store the relevant information of a UWB network system. The developed tool enables the user to manage the device transparently, establishing a connection, managing communication, and providing a range of features that facilitate the work and study of UWB technology. Communication is based on terminal emulation, whereby received messages are processed in accordance with their properties, the operating mode set, or the application tool used. The software's principal functions comprise real-time data visualisation, data saving, and an integrated terminal emulator for direct communication with the DWM1001-DEV development board. The tool, developed using the Qt framework, is intended to provide researchers with a straightforward method to utilise and assess the performance of DWM1001-DEV in diverse indoor settings, as well as to construct a basic UWB positioning network. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of UCO DWM1001 software.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
