User Manual and User Protocol
Product Overview
Statement
This document is the user manual for the 24GHz mmWave Sensor – Human Static Presence Module Lite and covers its use.
Electrostatic Protection
This radar product have electrostatic sensitive circuits inside, which is easily caused the problem by electrostatic hazards. Therefore, it is necessary perform electrostatic protection in the process of transportation, storage, working and taking. Please do not touch the surface of radar module antenna and connector pins with your hands, but only touch the corners. And please wear antistatic gloves when operating the radar sensor.

FAQ
How long is the initialization time?
– When the module is initially powered on and started to work, the internal
circuit of the module needs to be completely reset and the ambient noise needs
to be fully evaluated to ensure the normal operation of the module. Therefore,
during the initial power-on of a module, ensure that the steady start time is
at least 30 seconds to ensure the validity of subsequent output parameters.
Why do detections sometimes fail?
– Since human biometric features belong to ultra-low frequency and weak
reflection characteristic signals, radar processing requires relatively long-
term cumulative processing.
– In the cumulative process, many factors may affect radar parameters, so
occasional detection failure is normal.
User Protocol
This protocol is applied to the communication between the radar and the upper
computer.
The control commands and data required for radar operation are defined as
follows:
- Interface levels: TTL
- Baud Rate: 115200 bps
- Stop Bit: 1
- Data Bit: 8
- Parity Check: no
Communication Command and Parameter Definition
This radar contains two output functions:
- Standard Function
- Open Underlying Function

Tail
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
2 bytes| 1 byte| 1 byte| 2 bytes| n bytes| 1
byte| 2 bytes
- Head: 2 bytes, fixed as 0x53 and 0x59;
- Control: 1 byte
- 0x01- Heartbeat Packet Identifier
- 0x02- Product Information
- 0x03-OTA Upgrade
- 0x05- Working Status
- 0x80- Human presence
- Command: 1byte – identify the current data content
- Length: 2 bytes, equal to the data length in bytes
- Data: n bytes, defined according to the actual function
- Check: 1 byte
- Check code calculation: Take the sum of (Head + Control + Command + Length + Data) In hexadecimal, and then take the lower eight bits.
- Tail: 2 bytes, fixed as 0x54 and 0x43.
