AWR1642BOOST: Help with Reading CAN Data with Arduino

5813664

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hi,

I am working with an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and a CAN bus shield (SEEED Studio V. 2.0). I want to get the data from the radar board through the CAN bus to the microcontroller so that I can process the data. I have tried to flash the lab0005_object_data_over_can, but I do not receive any CAN messages through the microcontroller. What steps should I take to get the data from the radar to the microcontroller over CAN? I'm a beginner on this and would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Hi,

Notice that after flashing the binaries on the AWR1642 sensor, it is required to send the config through UART otherwise the demo will not start.

So, you would have to perform this from Arduino platform.

Thank you

Hi Cesar,

Thanks for your help! I am now getting CAN data from the radar. I have one more question regarding the CAN data though. What is the format of the CAN data for this lab?

Thank you.

Hi,

The data forma defined in the SDK 2.0 demo documentation.

Please see:
