IWR1642BOOST: Ability to look at raw data

John Hofmeister

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

Hello,

Through the mmWave SDK is there the ability to look at or use the raw distance or velocity data? The application I am thinking of using this sensor is trying to measure a very high speed object and I am concerned I won't be able to capture the data adequately if I am only watching a plot real time. I believe the sampling rate of this sensor is sufficient I just need to know how to get the data.  If there are an references to help me do this that would be great!

Best,

John H.

    Hi John,

    You should look at the capture demo that comes with the mmWave SDK. You can find it at <INSTALL_DIRECTORY>\mmwave_sdk_01_01_00_02\packages\ti\demo\xwr16xx\capture.

    This demo stores raw ADC data in a memory buffer.  You can extract the data if you are running the software in Code Composer Studio.  You may also consider modifying the demo to stream the data to your PC through an interface such as UART.

    Regards,

    Justin
