Marvelmind Indoor Navigation System

Has anyone used a Marvelmind Indoor Navigation System https://www.robotshop.com/en/indoor-navigation-positioning-system-starter-set-case-433mhz.html

Obviously I realize that this system could not be used during official FRC competitions. Our software team is more interested in using this at the shop as a source of ground truth data to test and validate various localization sensors and algorithms.

I’m mostly interested in how reliable the system is and if it works as advertised. I’m not having much luck finding reviews on it.

It’s viable. I’d say the accuracy is more like +/- 1" though. It’s fairly repeatable too. Definitely tech worth playing around with.

I guess we’ll look for something else…we really need that additional 0.54" of accuracy for it be useful

For anyone who has used this before, is the latency claimed accurate? ~22ms?
