AWR1642BOOST-ODS: How to modify out of box demo source code so that sensor transmits X,Y,Z values on UART ?

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST-ODS

mmWave Stack : 3. 0.0.3

Project : Out of box demo

Part number : AWR1642BOOST-ODS

Hello everyone,

I am writing a UART serial data parser for a custom application. By default , the sensor only transmits X,Y coordinates of the detected points while it runs the out of box demo . The Z coordinate is always 0 . This is probably because the the visualizer doesn't require Z values.

This device transmits X,Y,Z coordinate values on UART when it is running obstacle detection lab of TI automotive toolbox,so it supports 3D detection.

I wish to modify the source code for out of box demo, so that I receive Z coordinate values. Can anyone direct me to the right source files that performs x,y,z value calculations ? 

Thanks and regards,

Pranav.

  • Hi,

    I understand you have an AWR1642BOOST-ODS EVM.

    I also understand you are running the ODS demo provided in

    mmwave_automotive_toolbox\labs\lab0004_obstacle_detection

    This demo already provides (x,y,z) information.

    Please review the output data format in

    mmwave_automotive_toolbox\labs\lab0004_obstacle_detection\docs\ODSdemo_usersguide.pdf

    Thank you
