AWR1843BOOST: examples for 3d point cloud data over uart?

Part Number: AWR1843BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1843

Hi,

Is there any CCS project example for sending 3d point cloud data over uart?

Thanks,

Vimal

  • Vimal,

    The SDK Out-of-Box Demo provides the example of sending out 3D point cloud data over uart. Please refer to the Out-of-Box Doxygen for more information. The MMWDEMO_OUTPUT_MSG_DETECTED_POINTS has the following structure:

    Data Fields
    float x
    x - coordinate in meters. This axis is parallel to the sensor plane and makes the azimuth plane with y-axis. Positive x-direction is rightward in the azimuth plane when observed from the sensor towards the scene and negative is the opposite direction.

    float y
    y - coordinate in meters. This axis is perpendicular to the sensor plane with positive direction from the sensor towards the scene

    float z
    z - coordinate in meters. This axis is parallel to the sensor plane and makes the elevation plane with the y-axis. Positive z direction is above the sensor and negative below the sensor

    float velocity
    Doppler velocity estimate in m/s. Positive velocity means target is moving away from the sensor and negative velocity means target is moving towards the sensor.

    Regards,
    Kyle

  • Hi,

    Have you looked at the mmWave SDK demo? the demo sends the point cloud over uart.

    The mmWave SDK demo does not include a CCS project spec.

    The following thread includes a CCS projectspec for the AWR1843 mmWave SDK 3.1 demo.

    You can update it for a later SDK version

    Thank you
