IWR1642BOOST: JSON to cfg convertion.

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1642

Hi,

I am using the rospackage to retrieve position data from detected objects of the IWR1642 Boost and I would like to use the .json configuration files provided on TI Resource Explorer. Currently I can can upload cfg config files to the EVM using the mmw Visualisation Tool as well as the mmWaveQuickConfig ros node. Is there a conversion tool to produce .cfg config files from .json config files? Or maybe a direct way of uploading .json config files to the EVM.

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi Ryen,

    Did you generate the .json files from the mmWave Sensing Estimator? There is no way to directly convert this file to a .cfg but if you press F12 after pressing the "Save Config" button then you will find the ProfileCfg and FrameCfg parameters in your console window. These can each be copied and pasted into your chirp config.

    Let me know if you have any more questions.

    Cheers,

    Akash

    Hi Akash,

    Thanks for the tip, I did generate the .json config files through the mmWave Sensing Estimator. I tried launching the Estimator through CCS and also cloned the Estimator to my computer and tried the F12 key, but no success with the F12 shortcut. Maybe because I am using Ubuntu? I checked the console of CCS as well as the mmWave Sensing Estimator console and saw no output. Should I start the mmWave Estimator through a terminal?

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Ryen,

    F12 is the shortcut for developer tools in Windows. Whatever shortcut will take you to these tools in Ubuntu will work.

    It should be available in the console output and it will be obvious when you have found it. If you have trouble finding it then perhaps starting the Estimator through your terminal makes the most sense.

    Hi Akash,
    Got it sorted out now. I was expecting the values to be pasted into the Estimator console. Got the F12 key to open the firefox inspector and found the desired values in the console after uploading the mentioned .json file.
