IWR6843AOPEVM: Sending config parameters using ros driver

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Is there any way to modify the chirp parameters through a ros interface? We're using this for robotics applications and testing a variety of configurations, so it would be preferable to have a config file which was slightly more human-readable than the existing .cfg files.

Is this possibility available? Otherwise, does there exist a script or documentation regarding how the .cfg file is generated from values for azimuth res, frame rate, range resolution, max range, max radial vel, and radial vel resolution?

  • Hello,

    No unfortunately not, the Radar device depends on the config file. If you have questions on this please refer to the mmWave SDK User Guide, specifically the section on .cfg File Format. You can write comments in your .cfg file via percent (%) sign to make it more readable and you would only have to label it once.

    Regards,
