IWR6843ISK: IWR6843ISK: Looking for Area scanner demo output results, Working with GUI source code

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

Hello Alec, Thank you for the brief reply explaining on DCA1000EVM and Area scanner Lab. I have understood well now that Area scanner demo cannot be deployed on DCA1000EVM as it overwrites the process. 

Coming to Area Scanner Lab itself: 

I am looking to get the point could data and the output generated by Area Scanner Data sets

Like These: 

  • Headers 
  • Type Length Values (TLVs) 
  • Detected Object (Dynamic Points) 
  • Detected Object (Dynamic Points) Side Info 
  • Static Detected Object (Static Points) 
  • Static Detected Object (Static Points) Side Info 
  • Tracked Object List 
  • Point to Track Associations  

As I explained my Test case, that I want to place this Radar Sensor deployed with Area Scanner demo in different scenarios and then detect and track the data. I am looking for data where I can compare these Radar Sensor data results with other reference sensor, this is why I am looking for values like Static, Dynamic coordinates and also parameters like Frequency, Range, Velocity, Angle of the detected Objects and Humans. 

What I tried apart from Option 1 are:: I have only got the visualizer GUI here not any data to use them further analysis

What I tried apart from Option 2 are: 

  • I havent found any relevant link but tried to follow the same link and tried to steps under "DEVELOPER'S GUIDE to Build the Firmware from source code"
  • Here are the steps I have followed: 
    • Import Area Scanner Lab into CCS Workspace : Successfully Done 
    • Build the Area Scanner Lab : Successfully Done 
    • Execute the Compiled Lab in Deployment mode :
      • I was unable to understand and execute the complied lab.
      • Do I need to FLASH the Area scanner lab demo in this step?
      • Where Can i get the option to execute the  compiled Lab ?
    • Execute the Compiled Lab in Debug mode : Didn't Perform this step and I was Struck at above steps
    • Work with GUI source code : Didn't Perform this step and I was Struck at above steps
  • Could you please add any manual or relevant support for my queries. Thank you and Have a nice day! 

QUERIES: 

  • How Do you I work with GUI source code? 
  • Where Can i get the Script or Algorithm to  get the output data? 
  • Can you provide relevant threads where Area scanner demo project is implemented? 

Best Regards,

  • Hi Shravya,

    Linking the previous thread so that other uses of the forums have context:
    https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors-group/sensors/f/sensors-forum/1116287/dca1000evm-dca1000evm-iwr6843isk-for-raw-data-capture-for-area-scanner-lab-unable-to-connect-mmwave-studio/4175176#4175176

    In regards to running the demo after you've built it in CCS:

    You are following the same steps to flash the prebuilt binary, but instead of choosing the prebuilt binary, you will choose the one which has been built by CCS. This binary can be found in your CCS workspace in the Area Scanner MSS Project (look for the .bin file).

    How Do I work with GUI source code? 

    Take a look at Matlab code including in the GUI folder of the lab.

    Where Can i get the Script or Algorithm to  get the output data? 

    The output is just a standard serial connection, so there should be plenty of examples online on how to read from a serial port in the language of your choice. You can take a look at the Matlab GUI source doe to better understand how to interpret the serial data

    Can you provide relevant threads where Area scanner demo project is implemented? 

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you looking for examples of other forum users implementing this into their product? I'm not sure that many user's have provided this type of information on the public forums. 

    Best Regards,
    Alec
