I reconfigure the firmware in config.h: I just modify the bandwidth into 0MHz ,I try to transmit signle tone with my board. 

And I also flash the new .hex file inro my board successfully with XMC Flasher.

When I reconnect my board with new FW into my PC, it's LED just like this, only one yellow LED lighting

And when I open GUI, it show no Device connected, and my matlab code also can't run:

Then how can I know this radar still work and really the bandwidth is 0MHz. And if it's still working, I want to extraxt raw data with my matlab code? How can I modify the original code? I really need help, thanks!

Hi. Now I'm using KIT_CSK_BGT60TR13C, how to connect this board with my Wi-Fi by code in Eclipes IDE ? I still haven't found any source to connect this KIT_CSK_BGT60TR13C with Wi-Fi.

How to interpret the .npy files that we get in the Radar Fusion GUI. I used the np.load to load the contents of the array( image attached below),the shape of the array is correct, but i am not able to understand what the contents are? Is the contents of .npy file the raw ADC data or it is in byte format?

It is possible to tap the ADC output from Radar Chip BGT60TR13C for using in the external hardware? If so kindly provide the details regarding that.

I have rebuild the DAVE project,  it shows successful. However, it seems nothing like .hex file is generated, so I can't choose a firmware file when I try to flash the new FW into my board by XMC Flasher. And I also don't find a release button in DAVE IDE to generate a firmware file for the new project.  I can't find any info in the user manual. Please help me, how can I flash the new project into my board?

By the way, there is two micro b connector in the Disyance2GoL board, when I flash a new firmwave? which one should I plug in? the debugger connector or the regular one? 

And can I configure the bandwith into 0MHz, I mean I want to make the radar transmit a signle tone. Can that be realized?

Hi,

I'm trying to implement FMCW mode in the BGT60TR13C radar sensor.

My application is to measure the water level inside the PVC pipe (The water level changes very slowly). Our hardware is based on STM32F4 MCU and BGT60TR13C.

I already followed the manual on the link:

https://github.com/Infineon/sensor-xensiv-bgt60trxx

Currently, I have got the FIFO data successfully.

I have some questions could you please help me clearly understand?

1. Will the FMCW mode be suitable for my application?
2. The BGT60TR13C has a frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar, So the FMCW mode running by default, or need to be configured? How can I configure the BGT60TR13C to run in the FMCW mode? (I'm trying to follow section 10.2.1 Enabling the CW mode in the datasheet).
3. Is it required to port the RDK for STM32F4 to implement the FMCW?
4. What are the differences between SADC and FIFO data?
5. How to convert a configure from Radar Fusion GUI to hex values (presence_radar_settings.h) ?

Thanks!

I intend to save radar values as numpy files without using the record feature of Fusion GUI. The reason is to decouple from the dependency on Fusion GUI in my code.

So, I utilized the source code provided in the SDK to save radar values as numpy files. When I plotted them using pyplot, I noticed discrepancies between the data obtained directly from the code and the data recorded by Fusion GUI.

The data obtained from the source code appears to be scaled similarly to values received from the antennas, ranging from 0 to 1. However, there is a significant difference in the y-axis compared to Fusion GUI. I want to retrieve data exactly as recorded by Fusion GUI. Could you please guide me on how to achieve this?

Additionally, if possible, could you also explain how to modify the current settings? Currently, the code is set to "num of samples per frame: 64, num of chirps per frame: 64", but I want to change it to "num of samples per frame: 128, num of chirps per frame: 128, etc...".

ps1. My radar model is the Infineon DEMO BGT60TR13C (60GHz sensor), along with Fusion GUI version 3.5.4.202310251420.

ps2. My python codes.

Hi,
Im using Psoc- 062s2- 43012 with #BGT60TR13c.The application that I'm running is very similar to the one provided in the library(https://github.com/Infineon/sensor-xensiv-bgt60trxx).I have just changed the logic to print samples[sample_idx] to print raw data.

I wanted to obtain raw data.After 14 frames
xensiv_bgt60trxx_get_fifo_data() functions throws a "XENSIV_BGT60TRXX_STATUS_GSR0_ERROR".
I tried hard_reset and soft_reset. But it did not work.
Any suggestion on this issue?

Thank you!!

Hi team,

Actually I am using BGT60LTR11AIP sensor but I am only able to detect the object up to 3 meter can you provide me best configuration setting so that I will detect object up to 7 meter

this is my current configuration setting

Hello everyone.

While using the DEMO BGT60TR13C, even when I click on "Start Recording" in the Radar Fusion GUI, only npy files are generated instead of raw.bin files. How can I ensure that raw.bin files are generated instead?
