IWR1443BOOST: Getting data from drone height lab.

Rahul Sharma

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443

Hi,

Till now i am able to get the raw data from iwr1443boost to my laptop serially. I am extracting the data with the help of java-script page of demo visualizer itself.

Now for Drone height calculator lab, there is only Matlab Gui provided in which i see the altitude and speed.

Is there any source code available for that? It will be helpful for me to implement that part with my current algorithm.

Thanks.

Hi Rahul,

The Gui Source code is available in the DroneAltitude.mlapp file. You'll need Matlab 2016 or later in order to open it.

Cheers,
Akash

Hi Akash,

I am installing Matlab for that.

Till then can you please give me a glance for that GUI? such as what i understand is general byte data according to the data structure packet, is coming through radar. Where i can see too much noise (in terms of more number of objects detection) is there including other data as well. But in GUI the distance is very accurate no other noise. So is there any filtration/more processing been done on GUI side itself or any threshold is applied on configuration side?

Thanks.

Hi Rahul,

Very little has been done on the GUI that hasn't already happened on the IWR1443 device. The GUI returns the distance and velocity of the strongest (highest SNR) object which is almost always going to be the ground right in front of it. Beyond this no filtering/processing occurs in the GUI itself.

Cheers,
Akash

Thanks Akash.

One last thing, how much height it is going to be detected in the same?

Can it be configurable?

This demo should detect ranges up to 100 meters but it will always return the distance of the object with the highest SNR. This will be a closer object more often than not.

Akash
