IWR1443BOOST: Vital Signs Demo: How do I make the radar turn on automatically?

Hi Laura

In order to make the device start chirping and processing by default you will have to modify the section of the code that reads the config cfg file via cli and make it send a Pre configured set of commands to the radar subsystem.

Please look at the Tidesign for level sensing which uses such auto configuration to start the measurements without cli interaction.

We can provide you more pointers as you start looking into it.

Thank you

Hi Vaibhav,

Thank you for the clarification. I'm having trouble finding information about TI level sensing that includes information about auto configuration. Any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Laura

Hi,

I still have yet to find any mention of auto configuration in the level sensing information I can find. Any suggestions on which papers have information on auto configuration?

Sincerely,
Laura

Hi Laura,

The TIDEP-0091 has the chirp configuration 'hard-coded' in order to speed up operation time. The chirp parameters are listed in the file demo.h

Let me know if you have more questions.


Cheers,
Akash

Sorry to keep asking questions, but where is demo.h? I've looked through the webpage for TIDEP-0091, and tirex and I still can't find it.

Thanks,
Laura
