I purchased six of these for a robot. They need to interface with a Windows 10 PC running a VB.net application. Your documentation is entirely silent on this topic. I have not been able to get any reasonable progress with implementation of these sensors due to the lack of documentation and support. It looks like I will be forced to return them for another product.

Hi, can I use this sensor for outdoor water level monitoring?

Hi there, have you tested this for interference from the rain? I plan to make an waterproof outdoor project to sense human distances in my garden

Hi, is it possible to get angle measurements? Is it possible to increase range by soldering cables between antennas and 24ghz LNA? If so, which of the antennas serve as Tx?

Thanks.

This sensor cannot be used for angle measurement, it is not recommended to solder the cable by yourself.

hi, can we get amplitude and phase data from this microwave radar sensor ?

Sorry.
We haven't example code for stm32.

HI, I wonder if this sensor can be used in microwave imaging. I need microwave sensor or radar sensor that can detect the texture of the metal and also create a image of it.

Sorry.
This sensor can't realize the function you need.

The device will work for high velocity devices. Although we do not have a defined top velocity, you can check the data update speed below:

Since distance between the sensor and the object you are measuring affects the top velocity (since determine the time it takes the wave to respond is dependent on distance), we can not give you an exact value.

No problem. If your container works with this sensor (as in it uses plastics or thin metal layers), then it should fit your goal!

The Wiki doc of the sensor is very unclear. To use multi-target mode, it is unclear about how to choose the start and end spectral lines.
For example, I got the result like "[255, 255, 255, 1, 13, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 33, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 44, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 13, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 12, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0]".There is only one peak (44) in it, without further explanation about the meaning of each spectral line with its amplitude. It is no way to figure out how to use the multi targets mode.

I have contacted tech support but they said everything is in the wiki doc which is not true.

Is it possible to use this sensor to determine the liquid level from the outside of a hermetically sealed container?

Hey,
This sensor is able to penetrate through non-metallic materials, so depending on your specific setup it is possible. We also have these types of sensors that can detect water level without contact : https://www.dfrobot.com/pro... and https://www.dfrobot.com/pro...

Thank you for your assistance with my project. When converted to decimal the third byte gives me decimal values in the 200 to 220 range when the distance to the target is 150 cm away. Do you have any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?

Could you please email [email protected] and share pictures of your setup so we can better assist you. Since we have two protocols, one for detecting a single object and one for detecting multiple objects please let us know your pin out structure and the code if you made any changes.
