title: Loco UWB TX power | ||
page_id: loco-tx-power-config | ||
--- | ||
|
||
The transmit power used in the Ultra Wide Band radios in the Loco positioning system can be configured, both in the | ||
Crazyflie and the Nodes. Increasing the TX power increases the distance that the radio reaches. | ||
|
||
Note that the rules and regulations of different countries may restrict which settings that are allowed. | ||
|
||
## Configuring the Crazyflie | ||
|
||
The TX power of the Loco deck UWB radio is configured at build time through a [kbuild setting](/docs/development/kbuild/) | ||
. There are only two | ||
options, default and max power. | ||
|
||
Note that the Loco deck is only transmitting in TWR mode or when setting anchor positions. Setting full TX power for the | ||
Loco deck does not increase the space that a TDoA system covers. | ||
|
||
To change to full power: | ||
1. In a terminal, run `make meuconfig` | ||
2. Go to `Expansion deck configuration` | ||
3. Check the `Full TX power` option under the `Support the Loco positioning deck` section | ||
4. Save and exit | ||
|
||
Build and flash the firmware to the Crazyflie | ||
|
||
## Configuring the Node | ||
|
||
See the [node documentation](https://www.bitcraze.io/documentation/repository/lps-node-firmware/master/user-guides/configure-tx-power/) for details. |
