IWR1843: traffic monitoring mmwave_SDK setpoint

Aaron Spaete

Part Number: IWR1843

Team,

My customer has the following question:

Last week, I got working the traffic monitoring demo, and I plan to use the mmwave_SDK to modify the range. Is there a good way to create a setpoint based on a given position? This setpoint could output a GPIO or another signal to cause an interrupt on a camera.

Regards,

Aaron

Hello ,

Can you please help us understand what does 'setpoint' means in this case.

Thank you,

Vaibhav

As for the setpoint, I am using this generically now for flexibility in usage. One example may be to set an interrupt based on a position of a vehicle such as the 0 angle and allow a picture to be taken. Does this help clarify the meaning?

Regards,

Aaron

Hello Aaron,

I don't quite understand the question or the issue the customer is having with implementing their objective.

The source code is open source and they can make any modification they desire. The target list TLV struct contains the position information of any tracked objects. They can check this each frame and implement the signal/setpoint they desire.

If a GPIO trigger is the objective they can refer to several e2e threads on the topic: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/773207?AWR1642-How-to-use-GPIO-
