AWR6843: Self Calibration and Temperature Reading.

Chen-Chih Liu
Intellectual 340 points
Part Number: AWR6843

Dear experts,

The datasheet "Self-Calibration in TI’s mmWave Radar Devices" mentions that the self-calibration will be conducted if the temperature deviates by +/- 10 degrees.

Since the self-calibration exploits temperature of the sensor to determine whether to process, can I directly read the temperature through any API or variable?

By the way, I'm using the demo code "overhead_mount_occupancy". The self-calibration process was activated by default. Given that, I guess the temperature can be read directly but I do not know which function/variable should I use.

Sincerely,

Jack

    HI, Jack:

    All the RF control API is listed in the SDK Doxygen documentation: 

    file:///C:/ti/mmwave_sdk_03_05_00_04/packages/ti/control/mmwavelink/docs/doxygen/html/group___sensor.html

    You can look through it to have the API for temperature access.   You also need to understand how these APIs are called through SDK architecture, just search through the SDK OOB demo code to understand. 

    Best,

    Zigang
