AWR1443: Gesture recognition and UART connection

Part Number: AWR1443
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR1443, IWR6843

Hey,

we would like to test our new plastic parts in front of the radar. We want to build a demonstrator, that is able to recognize two gestures ( left-to-right and right-to-left). After recognizing , the radar board should send a string (e.g. 1 for left-right, 2 for right left) via UART.

Is this possible ? Is there any guide, how to achieve that? We don't want use Matlab to visualize. 

Best regards

Christian

  • Hi

    Yes, this is possible by modifying either the code running on the AWR1443 or the GUI.

    Since you don' t want to use the matlab gui, what will you use on the Host side to receive the UART message?

    Thank you

    Cesar

  • Hi,

    is there any code already available , that has just to be modified ? Can you help with this?
    On the host side, there will be a mcu, that receives the recognized gesture and displays it on a screen.

    Thank you
    Christian
  • Hi Christian,

    We do not have a multi-gesture demo on IWR1443. These labs are example implementations for concept demonstration only and we do not support customization e.g. addition and/or re-training of gestures .

    We do have a Multi-gesture + presence detection demo available on our 60GHz device IWR6843. This demo recognizes two gestures: Left Swipe and Down Swipe (in addition to presence detection) and returns the output as characters on the UART terminal. The demo uses a special antenna design which provides a wide field of view and equal angular resolution in azimuth and elevation but this antenna module is not available on TI.com right now so you will need to contact your local TI Sales representative for information regarding the availability of this board.

    You can find the demo and detailed documentation on the following page:
