Current State
The PCB works fine. Initial testing with the official decawave firmware showed that the localization works, but is not even close to precise enough for my intended application. Therefore, this project currently will no longer be worked on. There is currently no code for the ESP8266 available.

Questions
How big is the XlAnchor PCB?
It measures 59 × 50 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the XlAnchor use?
34 parts, built around the DWM1001C and WEMOS D1 MINI. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the XlAnchor KiCad files?
From the ClemensElflein/xLocalization repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/xlAnchor/xlAnchor.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the XlAnchor design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask ClemensElflein before reusing the design.
