IWR6843AOPEVM: read device temperature via a CLI command sent with pyserial

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM

Tool/software:

Hi, 

I am working with the IWR6843AOPEVM, and for performance analysis, I need to retrieve all the temperatures reported for each frame.

I am wondering if this is possible using Python and pyserial to send the request and read the response via UART. Typically ask the sensor to send the information and read it using a Python script. 

According to the mmWave SDK user guide, this can be done via guiMonitor, but I am unsure how to translate it into a Python command. Could you help ? 

Thank you

    Hi,

    First of all, you need to enable the statsinfo field in the guiMonitor parameter. 
    You can use the source code of industrial visualizer present in the radar toolbox, and log the temperature when the tlv is parsed.

    In parseTlv.py present in the source, you can log the outputs in the function parseExtStatsTLV.

    Let me know if you need further clarity on this.

    Regards
