"A bit of kit I've been experimenting with recently is the iLabs Challenger RP2040 UWB . Also: The best Raspberry Pi alternatives of 2025: Expert recommended As the name suggests, this board is an Adafruit Feather format microcontroller board equipped with a DWM3000 ultra-wideband (UWB) module and powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico 2040 chip with 8MB of flash storage and 264KB of RAM."
"The DWM3000 allows for object tracking down to a precision of 10cm/4 inches. The module is compatible with Apple's U1 and U2 first- and second-generation ultra-wideband chips, and also FiRa-compatible devices. The board is built to be mobile, capable of being powered by a LiPo battery with a JST connector or USB-C. Power consumption is super low at only 75mA when active and a minuscule 1.5 μA during sleep mode."
The iLabs Challenger RP2040 UWB is an Adafruit Feather-format microcontroller board powered by the Raspberry Pi Pico 2040 with 8MB flash and 264KB RAM. The board integrates a DWM3000 ultra-wideband module capable of object tracking down to 10cm (4 inches). The DWM3000 is compatible with Apple's U1 and U2 chips and FiRa devices. The board can be powered by a LiPo battery via JST connector or USB-C. Active current draw is about 75mA and sleep current about 1.5 μA, enabling long battery life. The board requires Arduino coding to implement tracking and system logic.
