IWRL6432AOP: Reading heartbeat and breathing rates values on the host without visualizer

Tool/software:

Hello,

I'm working on an assignment for measuring heartbeat and breathing rate, and I found I can use the open source example project "IWRL6432 Vital Signs" as a starting point. However, what I would like to do is run that lab, and be able to read the two values of heartbeat and breathing rates from my host machine without using the visualizer (for example, to use this data in another application). For what I have read in the code, it seems like these values are not sent through the UART connection with the host (only the point cloud and other more general data). An idea would be to extend that connection to also send these quantities, but could there be any simpler way?

Thanks for your attention. Regards.

    Hi,

    You can extract the TLV data sent over UART. You can get details about the Vital signs TLV data at the below location

    radar_toolbox_2_20_00_05/source/ti/examples/Medical/IWRL6432_Vital_Signs/docs/vital_signs_user_guide.html

    You can extract the heart beat and breath rate values from the TLV. It is not necessary to use the visualizer. Visualizer is only a mechanism for display.

    Regards
