Part Number: IWR6843
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843BOOST,

We made the board using the IWR6843 chip on the AWR1843boost.

The antenna is the same as that of the AWR1843boost.

I want to detect human falls.

The example uses ODS.

Can I implement it with my board?

How can I detect a human fall on my board?

My basic question is :

How to port ODS code to ISK code? What would be the difference especially in perspective of point cloud?

Hi,

We are releasing a new Industrial Toolbox on Friday (9/20/19). This will have two labs of interest:

Long Range People Detection
Area Scanner

These both use a tracker with 3D data. My recommendation would be to start with one of these labs, and use the 3D point cloud and tracker data to develop your fall detection algorithm.

Regards,

Justin

We use IWR6843 ES1.0 chip.

The chip was not able to use Long Range People Detection, Area Scanner.

Is there another way to detect a fall with the IWR6843 ES1.0?

Hi,

Please get Industrial Toolbox 3.6.2. This is the last toolbox to fully support ES1.0

What lab uses 3D data on 'Industrial Toolbox 3.6.2'?
