Python Code not working 2 #2

Closed tony1tf closed 4 years ago

tony1tf commented 4 years ago

This issue #1 has been closed, but the problem not fixed, so I am opening a new issue since I cannot re-open the one closed by the owner. By saying 'The communication protocol has been updated', are you saying that the latest devices have firmware which doesn't enable raw data by default? If so, then you must update your Python code to enable raw data when the trigger button is pressed. In any case, I have experimented with 'AT+DEBUG=0002' from the terminal, and never seen any raw data from the device. You have also not answered my question about how new firmware can be uploaded.

Hi tsanchez04 Yes, I have the same problem. Apart from baud rate updates on the description, MaxusDev has been rather unresponsive, and not much progress from SEEED Studio either. Tony

I was able to get the radar working with teraterm and labview using AT commands. Hopefully Maxus releases a programming reference to know what and how to use AT command interface.

@tony1tf

Hi tony, did you manage to get the raw data now? All the devices we delivered are of latest version and capable of sending raw data with AT commands. We apology that the document is not timely updated and we will be more responsive in the future correspondence.

Python code is only tested on MacOS. For Windows version, we will use Pyinstaller to create windows executable. Both Python and Node code will be updated these days. We appreciate your patience.

Thank you.

Hi tsanchez04

Can you get the raw data? The Python is only tested on MacOS. Both Python and Node code will be updated these days. From another issue you mentioned the AT command list, currently there are five commands available. Here we go:

Radiated power, receive gain and detection threshold have a complicated relationship and should be set probably according to your situation to ensure proper functioning of the device.

Hi MaxusDev

Still no raw data, even though the Vout signal detects a reflection. Is there a command to list the settings, other than power off and on, when the unit goes back to default configuration?

Hi tsanchez04

Can you get the raw data? The Python is only tested on MacOS. Both Python and Node code will be updated these days. From another issue you mentioned the AT command list, currently there are five commands available. Here we go:

  • Radiated power AT+PA=x The radiated power has 7 levels (0000~0007) for developer to choose. With the bigger number the device radiated more power.
  • Receive gain AT+REVGAIN=x The receive gain has 7 levels (0000~0007) for developer to choose. With the bigger number the device becomes more sensitive.
  • Time delay AT+DELAY=x The time delay represent how long VOUT stays high after the device detects object. Developers can choose number from 0001~3599 (unit in second).
  • Working mode AT+DEBUG=x By default the device works at normal mode, x = 0000. Developer can use x = 0002 to fetch raw radar data.
  • Detect threshold AT+THRES=x The threshold (0001~0099) represents how easy the device to trigger detection. With lower number the device is more inclined to trigger detection which could be a false alarm.

Radiated power, receive gain and detection threshold have a complicated relationship and should be set probably according to your situation to ensure proper functioning of the device.

Hi Tony

You can use ? in all the AT commands to read the corresponding configuration. Simply just try AT+DEBUG=?. By the way, can you provide me more info regarding your system, type of USB2TTL module, serial port application etc.? Please join our slack.

Thank you.

Hi tsanchez04,

Can you provide me the type of your serial adapter?

Thank you!

I am just using a sparkfun FTDI usb to ttl adapter. https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13263

Hi Tony

Since you can get the raw data now. I will close this issue.

Thank you again for your feedback!

kriedel commented 4 years ago

You have to set the device in debug mode with the described command, then you will get data over the serial interface and the python app works fine. I tested it under windows 10 and Ubuntu 18. I used a USB adapter from FTDI.
