AWR1642BOOST-ODS: Use of CAN port on AWR1642BOOST-ODS

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642BOOST

Hii,

I am working on obstacle avoidance in drones using AWR1642BOOST-ODS mmWave sensor.

Let me know what is the use of CAN connector on AWR1642BOOST.

Can I access output data of sensor using this CAN port? Instead of the Micro USB connector?

If yes, How can I integrate CAN port connection to external drone hardware?

Thanks & Regards,

Harish

    Hello Harish,

    Yes, it is possible to output the point cloud data over CAN. For example code on how to add CAN to your project, you can download the mmWave SDK and navigate to:

    C:\ti\mmwave_sdk_<sdk_version_number>\packages\ti\drivers\can

    There is also an Object Data Over Can demo on TI Resource Explorer:

    Navigate to: mmWave Sensors > Automotive Toolbox - 2.5.0 > Labs > Object Data Over Can

    Regards,

    Hii aozer,

    Just for knowledge and for the secondary plan of our system, Can I access radar data of AWR1642BOOST-ODS on I2C port as CAN port do access?

    If yes, how can I do that?

    Thanks & Regards,

    Harish

    Hello,

    Yes, you should be able to access data over I2C as well. However, you will need to ensure that the I2C data rate will be sufficient to support the amount of data being sent out. 

    Similarly to the CAN drivers in the SDK, we also include example I2C drivers you can use as an example. We do not have any demos that send the object data over I2C, so this is something you would need to develop yourself based on the I2C driver.
