Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1243, IWR1642, IWR1642BOOST
We are an undergraduate student team working to develop a wearable radar device. To do this we need to be able to identify and track objects using their position and velocity, so we are looking for a radar board which uses FMCW radar. The algorithm will be developed in Matlab but would also like to be able to create a stand alone product able to do all calculations onboard an additional microcontroller (which would be later implemented, and connected to the radar board). We are looking for a board from which we can continuously pull raw data.
Questions:
- What are the differences between the eval boards for AWR1642, AWR1643, AWR1243 as it relates to our project?
- Which one best supports testing with connection to a computer as well as connection to a microcontroller?
- Do all of the boards connect to Matlab? and is there documentation for that?
- Do we need to buy the mmWave devpack to be able to connect to Matlab or a microcontroller?
- Do we have to buy a separate MCU to work with this board/ communicate with a computer?
- Do we need to use mmWave Studio to modify parameters on the eval board?
Thank you,
