Information and documentation for the BoSL Radar Velocity sensor distance test article.

Set-up

The sensor should already have the firmware pre-loaded onto the XM132 and ATmega. Loaded onto the ATmega is a small program which enables power on the XM132. The XM132 has the Acconeer XM132 Module Software version 2.8.2 available on the Acconeer developer website. We recommend using the Acconeer portable exploration tool available here to interface the sensor with a computer via rapid prototyping.

To connect the sensor please wire up the radar sensor as per the wiring table below. Open up the Acconeer portable exploration tool and select the serial port attached to the XM132. Click connect. The radar sensor should now interface with the software.

Wiring

To connect the sensor to a USB-TTL converter please follow the wiring diagram below:
