MEMS microphones
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphones. Our high performance microphones can be used in a variety of application such as earbuds, headphones, smartphones or laptops for high quality audio pickup.
Pressure Sensors
Our XENSIV™ family of digital absolute barometric pressure sensors gives designers the best choice when it comes to mobile and wearable devices. Highlights include small form factors to facilitate system integration, highest precision and relative accuracy over a wide temperature range, fast read-out speeds via the serial I2C/SPI interface, and low power consumption to ensure longer battery lifetimes. All of our air sensing solutions have a FIFO buffer that can store the last 32 measurements. Since the host processor can remain in sleep mode for a longer period between readouts, the FIFO buffer can reduce system power consumption further.
Speed (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Speed sensors. This sensor family is based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR) or hall-based technologies in order to determine linear and rotational speed. Our Speed sensors can be used with ferromagnetic gear tooth wheels or encoders to measure speed and position and they are essential components for the function of safety and powertrain applications like rotating shafts.

My radar is Distance2GoL.
I reconfigure the firmware in config.h, make the one frame is 40ms, each frame has 10 pulses, and each pulse lasts 2ms.
First when I charge the board and use OSC to watch it's TX_EN, everything is finr just like I set. Here is the picture of the TX_EN:
But, when I start use matlab to acquire the raw data, when I run the matlab code, it has been changed.
Here is the TX_EN when I start to rum the matlab code:
Please tell me why this matlab code just for acquire the raw data will affect the radar, what should I do to modify the matlab code?
Show LessAre there available instructions or guidance on connecting the BGT60TR13C development kit to a jetson orin nano? Or a way to compile the sdk for the jetson? Following the "Building SDK from source code" in the RFS SDK Documentation in the radar_sdk didn't work for compile or install using python wheel.

I tried to configure it using the above code, but it reports an error at device.set_acquisition_sequence(sequence).
Using the sample program found in the official distance_fft.py, using the
Perform the configuration. Is there any way to use config to configure it, or convert config to metrics and then configure it?

Show LessHi, I am new to radar sensors.
To analyze radar data, I have plotted FIFO data read from BGT60TR13C in time domain.
My concern is whether the data in the form below is read correctly.
Could you please tell me what the raw data in the time domain usually looks like and if it is correct?

I am now using the ESP32 to stream the raw radar data from XENSIV™ BGT60TR13C radar wing board (SP005568071) through UDP. For each chirp in the radar setting, I have 128 ADC samples. But I found that there was always a noise at a fixed frequency as shown in the attached figure. I tried to change the sampling frequency but this noise was still there. Do you know what caused this issue?
Thank you!

I would like to build a trigger control for a youtube maker project , using the TLE493D-W2B6
I have an TLE493DW2B6 shield2go board, and I connected it to the Arduino
I installed the library TLE493D
I copied the DrillTrigger_SpeedAsNumber example
connected the sensor to the ARduino UNO R3 I2C pins (checked with the oscilloscope I can see SCL adn SDA moving correctly)
Connected the VDD pin of the board to 3V3 and the GND to GND
but all I can read are always the same number (see screenhsot below)
even if I put a magnet on the top of the sensor:
am I missing something?
thanks

What is the magnetic hysteresis of the TLI5590 sensor? Does it differ on the two bridges?
My radar is Distance2GoL. When I change the FMCW_PULSE_REPEAT_TIME from 5ms to 2.5ms
I use an oscilloscope to check the TX_EN, however, it's look like this:
I think it's wrong. If one frame lasts 100ms, and there should be 10 chirps in one frame and every chirp lasts 25ms. However, the TX_EN shows that this is only one chirp in a frame and the chirp lasts 25ms??? It's contradictory with the firmware.
Could you please tell me why?
And I here is my requirement, colud you please provide some suggestions for firmware modification? Because ADC only only works in the up chirp time(1.5ms) according to your doc. And in pluse repetition time(5ms_default), only 1.5ms/5ms=30% duty cycle when the radar is acquaring raw data. I want to realize the radar acquires raw data as the most as possible. So I think if I change the pluse repetition time(5ms_default) to 2.5ms, the duty cycle becomes 1.5/2.5=60%. So I met the problem I describe above.
And I think just modify pluse repetition time is not enough, Because frame rate is 10Hz, and every 100 ms there is a frame. In the frame, just the first 2.5ms*10 chirps=25ms the radar will acquire the raw data(in fact only every 1.5ms*10 chirps in this 25ms ADC works). So Can you provide some suggestions?
Hi friends,
TLE5012B E5000 is showing "System error" in "Safety Word" after reading the angle value every time.
However, Status Register (that is at 00H) doesn't show any of the errors corresponding to "S_VR; S_DSPU; S_OV; S_XYOL; S_MAGOL; S_FUSE; S_ROM; S_ADCT"
Refer: Infineon-TLE5012B_Exxxx-DataSheet-v02_01-EN.pdf page 29
Thank you for providing insight on why this "System error" is observed in "Safety Word", how to overcome it.

Show LessHi all!
I can't find the ifxradarsdk-3.5.0-py3-none-any.whl in my current version of the radar_sdk. According to the quick start it is supposed to be under libs/platform/ right?
However, I found the ifxradarsdk-3.5.0+8c595dbb-py3-none-win_amd64.whl in the python_wheels folder but when trying to install it on windows using pip it gives me this error message:
ERROR: ifxradarsdk-3.5.0+8c595dbb-py3-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.
I already updated pip but is there anything else that I could try?
Thanks!
