Driver Configuration

[paaraujo]

Hi, I could not find in the documentation how I should change the JSON files to make the system work.

I have 4 UMRR-96, I already changed the IP addresses and the sync mode using the DriverRecorder. They are working and synced.

Now, I am trying to collect data using ROS2. My radar.template.yaml file is attached below. By intuition, I thought I had to change some JSON files inside the smartmicro folder as well (also attached).

When I try to launch the code, I get the following error: [INFO] [launch]: All log files can be found below /home/paulo/.ros/log/2023-06-13-16-14-16-862773-paulo-GF65-Thin-10UE-36085 [INFO] [launch]: Default logging verbosity is set to INFO [INFO] [smartmicro_radar_node_exe-1]: process started with pid [36086] [smartmicro_radar_node_exe-1] terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error' [smartmicro_radar_node_exe-1] what(): Parameter dev_id not set. [ERROR] [smartmicro_radar_node_exe-1]: process has died [pid 36086, exit code -6, cmd '/home/paulo/workspaces/radars/install/umrr_ros2_driver/lib/umrr_ros2_driver/smartmicro_radar_node_exe --ros-args -r __node:=smart_radar --params-file /home/paulo/workspaces/radars/install/umrr_ros2_driver/share/umrr_ros2_driver/param/radar.template.yaml'].

Any help with the setup will be appreciated. I updated the firmware following the instructions provided in the README file. Also, I am using Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS2 Humble Hawksbill. Thank you.

Hey,

There is no documentation available regarding json files as they should not be tempered with. They only file that you need to adopt is the radar.template.yaml file.

I have seen your attached file (`radar.template.txt') and it is not properly configured. Kindly note the following points:

• master_client_id should be a unique number and also not 0!
• hw_dev_id should be any other number than 0.
• sensor_1 and sensor_0 have the same ip address which would not work. Each sensor should have a unique ip address.
• senor_0 has an id 0 which is not correct. Id should be a unique number and not zero!
• Lastly, make sure all ids are unique and not null.

I got some assistance from your reseller, I was missing a few things. First, the hw_iface_name, they explained how to get that using ifconfig. I guess this is an important thing to be included in the README file. Another thing I detailed in the original question, I was using Ubuntu 22.04 and ROS2 Humble Hawksbill, which seems incompatible. So, I prepared a machine with Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS2 Foxy and after proper configuration, everything worked.
