Linux/IWR1443BOOST: Multiple Radar's

Hi,

I understand the concepts, but how do I apply them? Does it require just a change in the chirp profiles? And how do I launch multiple RADAR's using ROS?

Thanks.

Hi Charles,

How do I start multiple RADAR's simultaneously? While using ROS, everytime I start the second RADAR, the first one shuts down with this message-

[ INFO] [1533674096.082895155]: mmWaveCommSrv: Sending command to sensor: 'sensorStop'
[ WARN] [1533674096.155806970]: Shutdown request received.
[ WARN] [1533674096.155883096]: Reason given for shutdown: [new node registered with same name]
[mmWave_Manager-2] process has finished cleanly
log file: /home/rupak/.ros/log/4ff3d4be-9a81-11e8-a1fc-106530c19ce8/mmWave_Manager-2*.log

Thanks.

Is it a ROS driver constraint or with the RADAR? Can I start multiple instances on just Linux?

Hi Charles,

I created 2 instances of the mmWave Manager to get rid of the 'same name' issue. I am now getting this message on starting the 2nd radar-

[ INFO] [1533763639.507378042]: mmWaveCommSrv: Sending command to sensor: 'sensorStop'
[ INFO] [1533763639.573949686]: mmWaveCommSrv: Received response from sensor: 'sensorStop
Done
mmwDemo:/>'

Can you tell me which part of the code sends the 'sensorStop' command?

Thank you.

Hi,

Can you provide some details , what are you trying to implement by running both sensors on the same machine?
As stated earlier the TI ROS driver does not support this feature currently.

Hi Charles,

I want to fit 3 radar's onto a platform to cover 3 different sides, and perform obstacle avoidance. Is it possible to do it without using ROS?

Thanks.

Thanks Ruilong!
