Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM
Tool/software:
Hi!
I'm part of a research group at the University of California, and we're looking to mount a radar on a drone to collect data.
Right now, we are using AWR1843BOOST along with DCA1000EVM. We have set up Texas Instrument's mmWave Studio to configure the data capture board, and was able to manually capture data on a computer through the GUI. However, the end goal is to automate this entire process without user input.
Because the radar modules will be mounted on a drone, we can not connect the modules to the computer. What is the best way to collect data and store it automatically?
Please don't hesitate to correct me and provide better suggestions. The first idea is to get the source code of the mmWave Studio, or at least the part pertaining to raw data collection, and running it on a Raspberry Pi that's attached to the drone. Is it possible for TI to provide the code for this application? Otherwise, the next idea is running Windows on a Raspberry Pi and running mmWave studio while it's in the air.
