IWR6843AOP: Parsing code for UART Output Data Format

Part Number: IWR6843AOP

Tool/software:

Hello.

I am planning to use the 3D people tracking feature in a radar example project.

dev.ti.com/.../node

I want to receive the radar signal from the PC via UART and parse it for use.

I am having difficulty with the TLV part when looking at the UART Output Data Format.

If you have the parsing code, please provide it.

I am using Python, but code in other languages is also acceptable if there is no Python code available.

Thank you.

Best Regards.

  • Hello, 

    We provide the source code for our Applications Visualizer in the Radar Toolbox. This is written in python and it includes the code for opening a serial interface with the device, sending the configuration file, and parsing and displaying the output data. The visualizer already has the code which parses the TLVs used in the 3D People Tracking demo so you should be able to copy some of it directly. To access the code you will need to download the radar toolbox, instructions for doing so can be found on this page

    Once the toolbox is installed, the visualizer source code files can be found at {RADAR_TOOLBOX_INSTALL}/tools/visualizers/Applications_Visualizer. The code specifically related to parsing the TLV data received over UART can be found in .../Applications_Visualizer/common/parseTLV.py

    Best Regards,

    Josh
