AWR6843ISK: Building errors while changing the file storing name

Part Number: AWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR6843

Tool/software:

Dear All,

I am Mudit Mohan, a student at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology. We are currently using the AWR6843 radar sensor for monitoring the vital signs of a driver within a vehicle. Our setup includes the mmWave BOOST board and the AWR6843 radar sensor, positioned according to the guidelines provided in the user manual.

I have been trying to rename the output file from the code but whenever i tried to build that code from Code Composer it throughs some errors

problem 1: I want at every run it should store the file with the timestamp of the PC. Please Provide the solution for this.

problem 2: And also we have to reset the device again and again, is it possible that we don't have to reset it again it should run properly like it does on reset 

Please provide the appropriate solution for these problems .

Thanks 
Regards 

Mudit 

  • Hi Mudit,

    I will need some more information about your setup. Can you provide to me the path in the radar toolbox or SDK of the files you are trying to edit?

    problem 1: This is a visualizer issue. Saving of files is done by the PC/visualizer.

    problem 2: I will need more details on this. Why do you have to reset it? What behavior is the devices showing?

    Regards,

    Tim

  • Hii Tim,

    We are currently using the AWR6843 radar sensor for monitoring the vital signs(mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_9_0\labs\vital_signs\68xx_vital_signs\gui\gui_exe) of a driver within a vehicle. Our setup includes the mmWave BOOST board and the AWR6843 radar sensor, positioned at the back of the driver , according to the guidelines provided in the user manual.

    Actually whenever the runs completes and it generates the Bin file. After that if i want to take the data again of a driver i press the rest button that is shown in the figure below

    Now if i don't press this reset button and again run the system for file saving data then it shows this error. Shown below 

    So basically i want that i don't have to reset the device again for different driver, if I run the GUI it should run properly without resetting the device.

  • Hi,

    This is likely not possible and you will have to keep them different files and reset the device.

  • Hii Tim

    I am mudit, as we have been in contact for a while, i need more help from you on the same project i am working on.

    problem1: Is it Possible that we can link AWR6843 sdk with python, as i wanted to run the SDK with python and extract the data in the CSV format in the real time.

    Problem 2: How can we make the "save data" & "Back" configuration as the default, so that if i run the SDK i just have to click on "Start".

    Problem 3: Now we are able to edit the file (mss.c, dss.c) , so can you please direct me how and at where is the line of code for file saving, so that i can add the time stamp and then it save the file.

    below i am attaching the file we are trying to editing vital_signs.zip

    This is the SDK looks like 

  • Hi,

    Please allow us a day or so to follow up.

    Thanks,

  • Hi,

    The file saving should happen in the Python GUI, not in the SDK. You would have to edit the GUI to be able to save the files differently.
