Product Description:
The millimeter wave radar component is made up of three main parts:
radio frequency unit, processing unit, and printed board antenna.
This type of radar has the unique ability to detect targets through
various obstacles like rain, fog, or frost, making it an ideal
small sensor that can run all day long. Additionally, millimeter
wave radar boasts high integration, small size, and flexible
interface.
The level meter radar is based on millimeter wave radar technology
and measures the height of the antenna from the liquid level. This
type of radar is popularly used in water resource measurement,
including in rivers, reservoirs, and tanks.
The modules for the radar can come from a range of devices. The
radar ranging module can be used in solid-state and liquid working
conditions and operates with the support of an 80G high-frequency
chip. The lens antenna configuration can also be adapted to
different environments.
Overall, this product is highly useful in a range of industries
such as water conservancy engineering, sewage treatment plants, and
petroleum chemical plants.

Equipment installation instructions
When installing the module, try to keep it fixed to avoid module
jitter and keep the surrounding environment as open as possible.
1. The distance between the module and the water surface is higher
than 30cm to ensure that the front face of the module (antenna
surface) is parallel to the measuring liquid level;
2. The distance between the module and the edge of the tank, the
edge of the pool, the edge of the river dam and the edge of the
pool is greater than 1 meter;
3. choose the less volatile the location of the installation module
(try not to install in the injection port and outlet undulation is
big, the undulation, the greater the measurement precision, the
worse).
4. Installation diagram
Guarantee within the scope of the beam without distractions, such
as Banks of the river bank.
Points to note
Module installation to maintain constant as far as possible, avoid
module jitter, surrounding environment to open as much as possible.
1. The distance between the module and the water surface is higher
than 30cm to ensure that the front face of the module (antenna
surface) is parallel to the measuring liquid level
2. The distance between the module and the edge of the tank, the
edge of the pool, the edge of the river dam and the edge of the
pool is greater than 0.5 meters;
3. choose the less volatile the location of the installation module
(try not to install in the injection port and outlet undulation is
big, the undulation, the greater the accuracy of measurement, the
worse))
A serial port communication protocol
| Frame head (1B) | 0XFF |
| Measuring dismissal (4B) | Height measurement (floating-point type, in centimeters) |
| Check and (1 b) | The measurement result is rounded, and the high byte and low byte
are summed and the low byte is taken as the checksum |
For example, the sent data is FF 2A 4B 90 42 47, where FF is the
frame header, the middle 4 bytes "2A 4B 90 42" is the distance
information, and the size end sets its true information to 42 90 4B
2A (hexadimal floating point type), which is converted to decimal
72.1468 cm.
47 is a checksum, its calculation is as follows:
First to convert floating point distance 72.1468 uint32_t integer
(4 bytes) to 72, in low level in two bytes 0 (HEX 0), low of 72
(HEX 48) as the checksum as frame head low, high + + integer
integer to take low 8 bits, (FF + 0 x00 + 0 x48) & 0 x47 x00ff = 0.
Add: SScom test mode
Can be tested using a serial port to help (hand SScom) :
1. Use the USB serial port module connected to the computer USB
interface, open SSCOM serial debugging software, choice
The correct port;
2.Send the AT + TLVS = 1 n, to convert the output string, according
to send the command
"AT + START n";
3.The output string
Note: the default baud rate to 9600. If you open a string with no
right side of SSCOM, click the extension to the right of "Save
Parameters" to display it.
| Common instruction specification | |
| AT+STARTn | Start the command |
| AT+RESETn | Reset command |
| AT+BAUD=9600n | Baud rate command |
| AT+TIME =160n | Frame cycle (that is, change the output interval) |
| AT+READn | Check that the common configuration is correct |
| AT+TLVS=1n | Change the output (default is 0 in hexadecimal) |
Notes:
In the working state of the MCU, to configure, first send the reset
command (interrupt the work), customize the input command, then
send the reset command (make the configuration effective), and send
the start command.
