Communicating without Driver #47

Open mhatch06 opened 6 months ago

mhatch06 commented 6 months ago

I noticed that in defining the ports(specifically for a Pi), the code says

CLIport = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0', 115200)

Dataport = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM1', 921600)

The presence fo the "ACM" instead of "XRUSB" seems to suggest to me that this code was written without downloading the MAXLINEAR driver for the AWR1843. Due to compatibility issues I cannot get the driver on my pi, and I am wondering if it is possible to communicate with the AWR without the driver?

Ibai, I have seen in your other replies that you say the driver is not needed, but the line CLIport.write((i+'\n').encode()) hangs every single time, and I cannot seem to even be able to PUTTY into the radar without the driver. Any advice is much appreciated.
