IWR6843ISK: reading real time mmwave data locally to raspberry pi via python

Eric Chen

Part Number: IWR6843ISK

Is there an example of how to read mmwave output data (using IWR6843ISK) to raspberry pi via python? All the official tools seem to be for PC with GUI.

Hi Eric,

You can use our PC GUI tools on your RPi if you like, but you'll probably have to reduce the graphics processing for performance limitations of the Pi. You should still be able to read all the data with it though.

Best,

Nate

Hi Nathan, do you have a link to an example/documentation on how IWR6843ISK can be interfaced with raspberry pi? Every example I see is done with x86 PC or x86 Linux.

Hi Eric,

We do not, but we do have a guide on getting WiFi transmission working if that's relevant.
