Product information "SparkFun Pulsed Radar Breakout, A111"

Does your project require high-precision, innovative distance measurement? Or perhaps speed, motion or gesture detection? We're not talking simple ultrasound or even infrared here, but 60GHz radar! Then say hello to the SparkFun A111 Pulsed Radar Breakout! The A111 is a single-chip solution for pulsed coherent radar (PCR) and comes with an integrated antenna and an SPI interface that enables clock rates of up to 50MHz. Although the A111's primary use case is distance sensing, it also supports applications in gesture, motion, material and speed detection at distances up to two metres.

SparkFun Pulsed Radar Breakout for the A111 includes a 1.8V regulator, voltage level translation and it breaks out all of the pulsed radar sensor's pins to 0.1-inch and Raspberry Pi-friendly headers. The Pulsed Radar Breakout is designed to sit directly on a Raspberry Pi, but it does not span all 40 (2x20) pins of a Raspberry Pi B+ (or later), but the 26-pin - 2x13 - header should be compatible with any Pi.

Acconeer has developed a visualisation tool written in Python that demonstrates real-time data acquisition. It's called the Acconeer Exploration Tool and is an incredible resource when getting started with the A111 Pulsed Radar. For example, it can graph distance or presence detection, show the number of sweeps, the communication port (SPI or I2C) used to send the data, and much more. The tool supports both Windows and Linux and requires Python version 3.6 or higher. The tool is available via the GitHub repository, have a look!
