IWR6843ISK: Start visualizer without sensor configuration

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Hi, 

I added a hard-code configuration commands to the SDK's cli.c file to configure the sensor to operate by it self.

And I want to check if the sensor is working well through the visualizer, but even though the sensor is sending data from the COM port, the visualizer only sees the data in the plot after I press the "SEND CONFIG TO MMWAVE DEVICE" button.

Is there a visualizer that allows me to plot the data from the sensor without pressing the "SEND CONFIG TO MMWAVE DEVICE" button?

If I need to change the source, is there a guide on where to modify it?

Thanks.

  • Hello,

    Are you currently using the mmWaveDemo visualizer? You can try to use the python based visualizer in the industrial toolbox. The latest version has this option to start without sending the config. If you just choose OOB parser from the drop down it should work. Functionality is limited compared to the other visualizer for OOB.

  • Thank you for reply,

    I've tried the latest version of PeopleCountingGUI program, and it works well without sending configuration.

    However, I need features like data logging, range profile data parsing in mmWaveDemo visualizer.

    I think, I need to change mmWaveDemo source code. 

    Can you give me some advice with this? (ex, function code that needs to be modified)
     
     
    Thanks.
  • Hello,

    You should be able to download and modify the mmWaveDemo visualizer to work with hard coded configurations. Or you can add parsing support to the python GUI to parse the range profile. Datalogging is included in this python GUI, but you may need to run it from the source code to turn on the logging feature. Please see the visualizer user's guide for more info.
