IWR6843ISK: Issue with mmWave Demo Visualizer 3.5.0

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Hi team,

I am currently testing out the fall detection experiment located at file:///C:/ti/mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0/experiments/Fall_Detection_Using_mmWave.html.

My IWR6843ISK is flashed with  C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0\labs\People_Counting\3D_People_Counting\prebuilt_binaries\3D_people_count_68xx_demo.bin

Using cfg file C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0\labs\People_Counting\visualizer\chirp_configs\3D_People_Counting\ISK_6m_default.cfg

 

The image below shows the working fall detection GUI with the correct UART and DATA COM ports.

However, I am unable to access the 3D scatter plot located at mmWave Demo Visualizer 3.5.0. When I click on "SEND CONFIG TO MMWAVE DEVICE", the console message on the right is empty and there are no graphs in the plot tab. Please advice on my next course of action as I require the plots to extract the xyz data of point cloud real-time from serial port via python.

 I am using IWR6843ISK while undertaking the elderly care fall detection experiment located in mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0 and that I am having difficulty using the mmWave Demo Visualizer 3.5.0 to display the plot graphs.

Thanks!

Best regards

  • Hello Jiahui,

    Thanks for all the context, the issue here is that because you are trying to run the People Counting demo, you will need to run the visualizer specifically for People Counting demo as well. People Counting requires a different data format output and so a special visualizer was made to work with it. You can view the People Counting Visualizer User Guide via going to our TI Resource Explorer and going into the mmWave Sensors Industrial Toolbox, and since you have downloaded the toolbox you can find the guide here:

    C:\ti\<mmwave_industrial_toolbox_install_dir>\labs\people_counting\visualizer\docs\people_counting_visualizer_user_guide.html

  • Hi expert!
    Thanks for your quick reply!
    I now understand at the mmWave Demo visualiser 3.5.0 is not used with people counting.
    I do have another related question. 
    I am currently using the fall detection GUI located at C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_11_0\labs\People_Counting\visualizer\Fall_Detection_GUI
    In the file oob_parser.py, i have changed self.saveBinary = 1 and self.saveTextFile = 1. However, I am unable to obtain the LogData from my previous tests. May i know how to obtain text document for the data?
    Thanks!

  • Hi Jiahui,

    For every run after you made this change to the oob_parser.py file you will find teh data in People_Counting/visualizer/binData.

    Thank you,
