This repository contains the necessary resources to build the radar instrument using a Raspberry Pi. To download via command-line: git clone https://www.github.com/deslay1/radar_instrument
Instrument design can be found in stl_files_to_3d_print.zip.
The step-by-step instructions can be found here. The final submitted report for this contest can also be found here.
To start receiving detection data from connected radar sensors, a streaming server has to be set up. The server is inside the directory called rpi_xc112 and to run it, enter the following command from the current directory in the terminal:
./rpi_xc112/utils/acc_streaming_server_rpi_xc112_r2b_xr112_r2b_a111_r2c
It is important to first download and install some required dependencies. This can be done by running the following command:
python3.6 -m pip install -U --user -r requirements.txt
In addition to the above dependencies, the acconeer.exptool library needs to be installed, which can be done by running the following command after downloading and opening Acconeer's Github Repository in a terminal window:
python3.6 -m pip install -U --user .
To start playing the instrument, run the following command:
python3.6 radar.py -s localhost --sensor 1 2
Upon encountering any issues, we would like to suggest visiting Acconeer, the company responsible for the project's radar sensors and software development kit. More specifically, we suggest visiting their Github Repository that contains a lot of information, guides and examples about configuring their radar sensors.
