Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642BOOST
Hello everybody,
I'm using the IWR143Boost EVM. i was working on this lab and i noticed that it was mentioned that the returned data for each point is having this format :
- Frame #
- Number of objects detected for that frame
- X coordinate in meters of the detected object
- Y coordinate in meters of the detected object
- Z coordinate in meters of the detected object
- Doppler in m/s of the detected object
- Peak Value (relates to the strength of the detection)
At the same time, i've seen a python file on a github project (working on 1843 and compatible with 1443, i say that it's compatible because i already tried it). i've seen that they getting somehow a full information about each point in the point cloud inside a bin file saved from UART data (you can see it in comment in IN [21] on the load_bin function in the mentioned python notebook) :
# [frame number, point ID, target ID, \\ Basic information # centroidX, centroidY, centroidZ, centroidVelocityX, centroidVelocityY, centroidVelocityZ, \\ Centorid information # range, azimuth angle, elevation angle, Doppler, SNR, noise level]
but me i can get on The dataHandlerClass in the sortIncomingData function in the ROS (C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_3_6_2\labs\lab0006-ros-driver\lab0006_ros_driver_pjt) data having this format :
# [ Point Id, x , y , z, range, velocity, doppler bin, bearing, intensity]
Please note also that the links on readme are no more reachable. if you have any similar resources please share.
My questions are :
How can i get the same format of data [frame numbre, .... noise level] on my 1443 EVM knowing that i'm using the out of box demo binary on it (i can change it if needed)? i'm asking this question because i believe that there is similarities between 1843 and 1443 EVM.
My aim is to get the elevation angle, Doppler/Velocity and also the target ID. so if there is any other ways for getting them please let me know.
What does doppler bin and bearing refers to in the READ_OBJ_STRUCT (dataHandelerClass in the ROS driver project)
Thank you in advance,
Have a good day.
Abdellah.
