**Key Architecture**: Battery-powered anchors auto-position themselves, mobile tag collects positioning data via USB to PC for real-time display and dual-file logging for offline analysis.
**Unified Firmware**: Single codebase with config-driven behavior for all device types, organized in modular configuration structure.

pio run -e anchor # Build anchor firmware
pio run -e tag # Build tag firmware
pio run -e tag2 # Build second tag (ID 2)
# Build default configurations
pio run -e anchor # Build anchor (ID=0, Network=1234)
pio run -e tag # Build tag (ID=1, Network=1234)
pio run -e debug # Build debug anchor (ID=0, Network=1234)
# Build with custom device ID and network
set PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS=-DUWB_INDEX=5 -DNETWORK_ID=2000
pio run -e anchor # Build anchor ID=5, Network=2000
# Flash to device

### Development Environments
- **anchor**: Base station (UWB_INDEX=0, tracks tags)
- **tag**: Mobile tracker (UWB_INDEX=1, reports to anchors)
- **tag2**: Second mobile tracker (UWB_INDEX=2)
- **debug**: Development build with DEBUG_ENABLED=1
- **anchor**: Base station with distributed positioning (default: ID=0, Network=1234)
- **tag**: Mobile tracker with coordinate collection (default: ID=1, Network=1234)
- **debug**: Development anchor build with DEBUG_ENABLED=1
### Unified Architecture
All devices now use the same `main.cpp` with config-driven behavior:
- Device type determined by build flags (`DEVICE_TYPE_ANCHOR`/`DEVICE_TYPE_TAG`)
- Behavior configured via `anchor_config.h` and `tag_config.h`
- Positioning algorithm settings in `positioning_config.h`
- Easy customization via `PLATFORMIO_BUILD_FLAGS` environment variable

### Key Technical Patterns
**1. Dual Firmware Architecture**
- `main_anchor.cpp`: Tracks tags, manages UWB_TAG_COUNT devices, displays active tags
- `main_tag.cpp`: Connects to MAX_ANCHORS, reports to PC via USB, displays anchor distances
- Shared: config.h for hardware pins, UWBHelper library for AT commands
**1. Unified Firmware Architecture**
- `src/main.cpp`: Single firmware for all devices, behavior determined by build flags
- `src/config/`: Modular configuration system with device-specific settings
- Dynamic behavior: Device type, peer management, and display logic configured at compile time
- Shared: UWBHelper library for AT commands, unified communication and display handling
**2. UWBHelper Library Structure**
- **Complete AT Command Implementation**: All 21 commands from AT manual

**4. Modular Configuration System**
- `src/config/config.h`: Hardware pin definitions and basic system settings
- `src/config/device_config.h`: Device role detection and unified behavior configuration
- `src/config/anchor_config.h`: Anchor-specific settings (tag tracking, positioning, inter-anchor communication)
- `src/config/tag_config.h`: Tag-specific settings (anchor tracking, USB streaming, coordinate collection)
- `src/config/positioning_config.h`: Distributed positioning algorithm parameters and validation settings

## Development Roadmap Context
This ESP32 firmware implements the hardware foundation for the UWB positioning system (see docs/ROADMAP.md):
- **Current**: Basic anchor-tag ranging with USB data streaming via UWBHelper library
- **Next**: Anchor auto-positioning, coordinate relay through tag, battery optimization
- **Current**: Unified firmware architecture with config-driven behavior, ready for distributed positioning implementation
- **Framework**: Configuration structure established for anchor discovery, position calculation, coordinate storage, and data relay
- **Next**: Implement anchor auto-positioning algorithms, coordinate relay through tag, battery optimization
- **Goal**: <15min anchor setup, <30cm ranging accuracy, reliable USB data streaming to webapp
- **WebApp Integration**: All data logging, visualization, and analysis handled by separate Next.js webapp
### Distributed Positioning Framework Ready
- **Anchor Behavior**: Framework for inter-anchor communication, discovery protocol, position calculation
- **Tag Behavior**: Framework for coordinate collection, USB data streaming, real-time positioning
- **Algorithm Foundation**: Trilateration, consensus mechanisms, coordinate system establishment
- **Storage System**: EEPROM-based position persistence for battery-powered anchors
## Hardware Requirements
- **Modules**: Makerfabs MaUWB ESP32-S3 with built-in UWB + OLED
