AWR1642BOOST: Is there any c/c++/c#/vb code example that connects to the EVM sends the confing and reads the data?

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-STUDIO

connection via the XDS 110 USB/serial emulator.

  • Hi Adrian,

    I would like to clarify whether you are looking to get the Raw ADC Data or the processed Point cloud data. We do have applications for both use cases as given below:

    1. Point Cloud Data (each point having x, y, z, Intensity and Velocity information): The MMWAVE-SDK Out of Box Demo (running on the EVM) which is used with the mmWaveDemoVisualizer (running in a Browser on PC) takes in the configuration through the DemoVisualizer over UART and provides the point cloud data over UART. We also have a beta version of the mmWaveDemoVisualizer on dev.ti.com/gallery which allows you to save the point cloud data as a CSV file. Please refer to this thread for more details on this version.

    2. Raw ADC Data: For capturing raw ADC data, TI provides the MMWAVE-STUDIO application. You'll also need the DCA1000 Data capture EVM besides the mmWave Sensor EVM. You can purchase the DCA1000 EVM here and  download the MMWAVE-STUDIO application and documentation from this link.

    Thanks

  • Nitin, I was after C/C++/C# code to do it. I would like to build a stand alone C# application.
  • Hi Adrian,

    From your question, I understand that you're looking for a C/C++/C# equivalent of the mmWaveDemoVisualizer which is the Browser/PC based application that is used to send configuration to the mmWave SDK Demo firmware running on the mmWave Device and visualize the point cloud data sent by the sensor over UART. We do not have a C/C++ equivalent of the mmWaveDemoVisualizer but you can download it's source from dev.ti.com/gallery as shown below if you're interested in porting it to C/C++.

     Regards

  • Thank you Nitin and yes you did respond to the original question. One more though, Can you build a "thick" client rather than a web based one. Is there any example or code?

  • Hi Adrian,

    The mmWave Demo Visualizer communicates with the OOB firmware over UART so any programming language (C, C++, Java, VB) that allows you to send and receive data over UART could be used to write a desktop client to mimic the functionality of the demo visualizer. You can also download the offline (i.e. non-browser) version of the demo visualizer from the dev.ti.com/gallery link provided in my previous post. This is a TI GUI composer application so you'll need to install the GUI composer run-time to use it.


    Thanks
