Multi-Sensor UWB Data Acquisition Module with STM32F103

This project is a compact and versatile data acquisition platform designed to combine precise sensing, real-time communication, and flexible interfacing for industrial and research applications.

At its core, the system is powered by the STM32F103CBU6 microcontroller, a robust ARM Cortex-M3 MCU that ensures efficient processing and reliable control.

To capture motion and environmental data, the module integrates advanced sensors:

  • QMI8610: 6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope for accurate motion detection.
  • QMC7983: 3-axis magnetometer for high-resolution magnetic field measurements.

These sensors work together to deliver 9 degrees of freedom (9-DoF), enabling advanced orientation tracking and sensor fusion.

For precise positioning and ranging, the system incorporates the BU01 UWB (Ultra-Wideband) module. UWB technology provides highly accurate distance measurement and low-latency communication, making this board suitable for applications such as indoor localization, asset tracking, and time-of-flight experiments.

To ensure stable and efficient power management, the design uses the LM3281YFQR regulator, optimized for portable embedded systems. The board also features versatile connectivity options:

  • USB Type-C (TYPE-C-31-M-12) for data transfer and power.
  • BNC connector (31-6121) for robust integration with laboratory and test equipment.

With its multi-sensor capabilities, UWB positioning, and flexible interfaces, this module is ideal for research labs, industrial monitoring, IoT prototyping, and next-generation positioning systems.
