Linux/AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642 ROS visualizer data streaming

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST

Tool/software: Linux

Hi,

I currently get the ROS visualizer work. In the next step I would like to stream out the data and do a detailed analysis on the data. I prefer to use python or matlab to do further data analysis.

Is it possible for me to get something similar to the .dat file on Windows visualizer in Linux system? If no, any other way for me to access the radar data?

Many thanks,

Gelei

    Hi Gelei,

    Since data comes over UART you can easily tap this port with the protocol of your choosing. Have you tried this way?


    Cheers,

    Hi Akash,

    I tried to tap the port and the result is not very good. I cannot find the magic word in the data, and I'm not sure what is the data structure of the binary data in UART connection.

    I solved the problem in another way. Since I'm working with the ROS package, I echo the ROS topic message into another file, and handle the file directly. The echoed data are already in the format I need, with position and velocity of the objects.

    Thank you so much!
