IWR1642BOOST: People Counting Lab: Disable the GUI and Just Get the Data

Part Number: IWR1642BOOST

I am trying to modify the Matlab script main_pplcount_viz.mat for the People Counting Lab so that when I run it, Matlab automatically stores the point cloud and tracking data without having to display the GUI. So far, I have been able to stop the GUI from popping up, but the program still doesn't save the data. I saved all the default configuration variables and made sure to load them into the modified program before running it. Right now, what seems to be the problem is that the variable magicBytes doesn't match the  syncPatternUINT64, or in other words we have lost sync with the device. Is there a good way to fix this?

Maybe even a better question, is there another Matlab script that can run through and configure the radar and collect all the data like pointcloud automatically without showing a GUI that pops up?

Thanks.

  • Hi Isaac,

    There is a feature to automatically save the the received stream of object data (fHist). This is enabled and disabled in the GUI so you will want to extract this portion of code in order to enable it by default.

    Another point cloud option is the Zone Occupancy Demo which illustrates the point cloud of radar data and also has a feature to save this data.
