IWR6843ISK: mmwave ROS driver

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVE-SDK

Hi teams,

I tried to test if the mmwave ROS driver works but it failed.

I already flash the mmw EVM with the latest version of the mmWave SDK (MMWAVE-SDK v03.02.00.04) demo.bin, and can see the point cloud data on the mmwave demo visualizer.

When I try to test if the mmwave ROS driver can work.

I follow the "TI mmWave ROS Driver Setup Guide" (http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?a=VLyFKFf__3.5.0&node=APnFgppJ1ocfjvSKlwZ-rg__VLyFKFf__LATEST)

I download the mmWave sensor toolbox(3.6.2) from TI resource explore.

Then I find the "ti_mmwave_rospkg" in labs/ autonomous_robotics_ros and put it in the workspace:

And try to launch the TI mmWave ROS node and Rviz visualizer:

but it failed.

Could you kindly help me to check if the mmw ROS driver package in the toolbox 3.6.3 is the right version?

Or the "TI mmWave ROS Driver Setup Guide" didn't up to date and give the wrong command in running the driver step.

Thanks and best regards,

Jamie

After you moved "ti_mmwave_rospk", try to rebuild your catkin workspace directory:

Use the commands:

cd ~/catkin_ws/

catkin_make

What do you see after you try to rebuild and execute the roslaunch command?

Edit: Also, make sure you have the rviz_6843_3d.launch launch file in the ti_mmwave_rospkg/launch directory. I don't see the rviz_6843_3d.launch in my directory so make sure you have it properly installed.
