Hi all,

I'm new to radar and software, so please bear with me if some of these questions seem straightforward

I would appreciate some clarification regarding this demo.

1. If there are cloud points within the boundary box, does the sensor recognize or trigger based on that? From my understanding, it will only trigger or change to yellow if the sensor detects motion but not presence. Is my understanding correct?

2. If that's the case, is there a way to show a change in the boundary box color when the sensor detects presence? For the demo, I made some adjustments to the configuration to simulate a scenario where the radar triggers when someone enters a specific area within a room—similar to a "no-entry" alarm for that specific zone. Attached picture below.

3. Can I only use TI Debug Probe for debugging. Can I use third party debug probe like J-Link?

Thank you

Hello,

I'm sorry for the slow response here. Thanks for your patience.

I'll try to clarify the motion detect vs presence detect in the demo. Essentially, the code implements two processing chains (major motion detection and minor motion detection). Either one (or both) of these chains can be enabled in the configuration. The default "MotionDetect.cfg" configuration enables the major motion detection processing and "PresenceDetect.cfg" enables the minor motion detection processing chain. The visualizer you are using (Industrial Visualizer from the Radar Toolbox) highlights the boundaries of the defined mpdBoundaryBox when presence is detected in that zone. The box will change to yellow if minor motion is detected and it will change to red if major motion is detected. For more specifics I urge you to refer to the documentation in the SDK. Section 2.6 of the Motion and Presence Detection Demo Tuning Guide explains this in detail.

Using the Jlink with code composer is explained on segger website, see link below

https://www.segger.com/products/debug-probes/j-link/technology/ides/ti-code-composer/

There is a list of supported devices which does not include the radar devices, so it may not be supported.
