AWR1642: How can i get radar_msgs/RadarDetectionArray topic from your ros node ?

Hi Deepak,

I haven't understood your question completely. Can you please answer the following so that I get a better understanding of your issue?

• Are you using the OOB demo on the AWR1642? If so, can you mention which SDK you are using? If not, can you mention which application you are using?
• In the case of OOB demo or any example application, are you referring to the UART output messages when you say radar_msgs/RadarDetectionArray or sensor_msg/PointCloud2?
• Could you describe your current output from the sensor and expected output in greater detail?

Regards,

Kaushik

Hi Kaushik Gowda sir,

Thank you for your reply.

Answers for your questions.

1. No. I am not using OOB demo.

2. NA

3. I am using this https://github.com/radar-lab/ti_mmwave_rospkg for ros integration. So, the node publish a topic names as sensor_msg/PointCloud2. The topic have the x y z & intensity of the object. So my question ; is there any option to get a topic with radar_msgs/RadarDetectionArray type ?. Or is there any option to convert the type sensor_msg/PointCloud2 to radar_msgs/RadarDetectionArray ?

Thank you.

Hi Deepak,

Meanwhile Kaushik is coming back for your query.

Could you let me know what is usecase/application you are planning to cover this mmwave sensor variant?
