Hello,

I am doing people counting demo. I am using the mm_Wave people counting GUI. I was going through the visualizer source code. I am attaching a part of the code. What is SDK3*PointCloud and SDK3*PC?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

These refer to the point cloud TLVs defined in the corresponding demos.

if (self.SDK3xPointCloud == 1): <- for OOB point cloud parser
self.byteData = self.sdk3xTLVHeader(self.byteData)

elif (self.SDK3xPC == 1): <-- for people counting demo
self.byteData = self.sdk3xPCHeader(self.byteData)

The OOB demo doesn't use the tracker while the People counting demo uses tracker.

The output format people counting demo output has point cloud information along with tracker information which is different and hence has different parser.

Hello Sudharshan,

Thank you.

I would like to know what is the output of OOB 68xx_mmwave_sdk_dsp and 68xx_mmwave_sdk_hwa? I got the output from DSP as a .dat file. How to convert into a text file?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

have you tried the parsing scripts provided in SDK mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\parser_scripts? the .dat file may need to renamed to .bin file.

Hai Sudharshan,

I was able to convert .dat file to .csv. I had taken data using 68xx_mmwave_sdk_dsp and 68xx_mmwave_sdk_hwa OOB demos. Could you please what is difference in the output of two? I am attaching both the obtained output.

this is dsp output

this hwa output

And also the value of z is 0 for both output. Why is it like that?

Other than this is it possible to get vx,vy,vz,ax,ay,az.?

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

The OOB demo is provided as reference and may not have all the features needed. Also can you please use the config files located at ti\mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04\packages\ti\demo\xwr68xx\mmw\profiles? and use the "profile_3d.cfg" and do the testing?

Hi,

HCC refers to hard coded configuration and there is no need to inject any configuration. Please go through the user guide present for each of the demos in the installed toolbox. This will provide you insights on how each demo would work. C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_7_0\labs\out_of_box_demo\68xx_mmwave_sdk_hwa. Also please let us know your specific needs so that we can support towards the same?

Hello,

You have said above to use 'profile_3d.cfg' file. But how to use this. When doing demo we are using the demo visualizer and in that I can't set the specified profile.

After that I tried hcc demo. I have followed the instructions as in https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=ANHlPre7EOLunyygFnRRKg__VLyFKFf__LATEST for out_of_box hcc demo. But whenever I launch the visualiser in the given folder it shows error that another configuration is running. I have tried many times by re flashing and turning in and off but nothing changed.

Thank you,

Did you try loading this configuration file from the plots tab on demo visulaizer? Please let me know.
