Description: Fieldtracks - Tracking personal in field training exercises
About Communication Open Issues The Fieldtracks Project Fieldtracks implements localization and tracking for firefighters, medics & actors during field training exercises. It is based on BLE, ESP32 and mesh networking; it focuses on both indoor and outdoor deployments. For details see the recording of our talk at FOSDEM 2020 .
JellingStone is the software for ESP32-devices. It utilizes Bluetooth for scanning (i.e. detecting) and emitting beacons. Results are transmitted over MQTT and WLAN. It is based on ESP-IDF .
Recently, a rewrite was needed, and we moved to a byte-oriented wire-protocol for reports. It is already implemented in JellingStone but changes to the StoneAggregator are yet to be done.
