just fixed it, hope it works

#12So thankful the author posted this. We often learn more from failure than success. Learning from the failures of others is how we can move forward. The lessons learned at the bottom of the article are gold.
thank you so much for your feedback, it was hard to admit defeat, but at the end looking back at what I built, the parts where I learnt about RF, and just struggled, refactoring the code for the sim (thank god cc is not good enough to understand real world physics functionning for now) were the most satisfying moments

#13Terrific project!
thanks :) !!

#14love the background music in combination with the flying fishes wallpaper in the first video haha
very cool project

Was this AI comment necessary?
If you'd like to learn more about the module:

Edit: maybe I am seeing AI everywhere! False positive. :-)

hahaha ! oops didn't mute the video, would blast trap music when I was alone in the lab x)

#17Kinda crazy that it worked but got no commercial interest. Hopefully someone suitable here sees it and can intervene
Does it also work through other materials. i.e. through a drywall etc.

It's a cool technology, but for it to gain commercial interest it needs to solve a problem better than the status quo. What problem is it solving and for who? If I was to buy that mmwave radar device it would probably cost more than the $60 test, and I would want assurances that it is as accurate as existing tests.

#19Very cool idea.
I'm sure this can be annoying when people do this, but I can't help myself lol. I wonder if you could operate in a different modality and find discontinuities in material properties rather than use it as a classifier. For some reason skin cancer detection popped into my head, but general purpose inspection/detection cases for any discontinuities might be pretty helpful. Depending on the resolution/size of the field it's inspecting a realtime camera overlay might be interesting for correlation sake.

the FMCW tech makes it impossible to have a resolution inferior to 2.5 cm, (so if two layers are appart, you can't physically tell them appart using physical classical modeling techniques with DSP). However, you can use AI to enhance the performance of the system, and make what you are saying possible. The downside of AI is that you need tons of data, which is expensive to get.
