IWR6843AOPEVM: ROS2 Occupancy example

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi

I want to try occupany map on IWR6843AOPEVM. I found there is launch file "6843ISK_Occupancy.py" worked well on IWR6843ISK.  But I coudn't found any example for IWR6843AOPEVM. Later, I tried to edit cfg and launch and again. console shows following message:

[mmWaveCommSrv-2] [INFO] [1726642879.816981485] [rclcpp]: mmWaveCommSrv: Received response from sensor: 'occStateMach 1 3 5 3 2 3 0 10
[mmWaveCommSrv-2] 'occStateMach' is not recognized as a CLI command

[mmWaveCommSrv-2] 'zoneDef' is not recognized as a CLI command

I flashed "xwr6843AOP_mmw_demo.bin" to IWR6843AOPEVM. What I've did wrong ?

    Thanks for your query. Please allow us a couple of days to respond.

  • Hello,

    The occupancy box as written for the ROS driver is not compatible with IWR6843AOPEVM. What I would consider the easiest option is to download the Radar Toolbox and flash the Small_Obstacle_Detection's small_obstacle_detection_6843.bin. This bin has the superior Capon pointcloud algorithm chain,  antGeometry parameters to allow for the AOP antenna shape, and the two occupancy parameters occStateMach zoneDef. The problem is there is a issue with the ROS Driver reading in the occupancy box's status for some reason that I cannot remember. Nevertheless this is the easiest and quickest path.

    Best Regards,
