The Arduino library currently supports the ToA (time of arrival) feature of the DW1000 modules for two-way-
ranging. Labels

In addition to that it would be very useful to also use the TDOA (time difference of arrival) feature of the None yet

DW1000 modules for direction finding, e.g. if we could connect 3x DW1000 modules and get the time
difference of the received signal between them. This would allow us to do direction finding (knowing the Projects
angle of the sender). Thereby, in addition to distance we would also get an angle, thus reducing the number

of senders for position estimation (localization). In other words, we would not need 3 senders (3 distances),
just 1 (1 distance, 1 angle) and that greatly reduces the required infrastructure for position estimation

(localization) in a difficult outdoor environment like a robotic lawn mower.
No milestone
Combining both methods (ToA and optionally TDOA) would be very intesting.
