IWR1443BOOST: MMWAVE-SDK

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-STUDIO

Is there a mode to transfer data over USB bulk transfer as a USB webcam does, then it is a simple mater to interface with numerous existing software drivers easily and it can be supported under many incarnations of single board computer commonly used in robotics. thanks.

    Hi Jonathan,

    Are you interested in getting the RAW ADC data or processed point cloud data which contains Range, Velocity and Angle information for the detected points? If you need the RAW ADC data, you would need the DCA1000 data capture card (in addition to the IWR1443BOOST RVM) which you can use with MMWAVE-STUDIO to capture Raw ADC data over Ethernet. Please refer to the DCA1000 EVM user guide for more details. Note that the raw data is not streamed out by the DCA1000 in real-time. It is captured and transferred to the host machine when you press "Trigger Frame"

    If you are interested in Point Cloud Data over USB, please look a the mmWave SDK Out of Box Demo which streams point cloud data every frame at the configured frame rate. Please look at the mmWave SDK user guide for details on how to get started with the demo.

    Thanks

    Thanks Nitin,

    Its the second one. I would want to be able send a point cloud message via ROS using the drivers in place to acquire bulk USB frame data from cams that is already operational. Instead of publishing a frame message of course it would be a point cloud or other data structure but the mechanism would be the same.
