Great value but needs calibration

Works well out of the box, but you need to spend time calibrating the thresholds in the software to avoid false positives from ceiling fans. Once tuned, it's very accurate.

Excellent sensitivity for micro-motion

This module is incredibly sensitive. I used it for a smart lighting project and it detects even slight hand movements reliably. The UART output is easy to parse with an ESP32.

Compact and powerful

The form factor is tiny, making it easy to hide inside enclosures. The 24GHz frequency provides a good balance between resolution and penetration through plastic cases.

Solid documentation

Waveshare provided good example code and a clear pinout diagram. Integration took less than an hour. Only wish the range was slightly longer for large rooms.

Perfect for presence detection

Unlike standard PIR sensors, this FMCW radar can detect stationary humans. It solved my issue of lights turning off while I was sitting still at my desk.

Good hardware, steep learning curve

The hardware quality is top-notch, but understanding the raw data stream requires some signal processing knowledge. Not ideal for absolute beginners without coding experience.

5 FAQ

Q: Does it work through a thin plastic enclosure?

A: Absolutely. The 24GHz mmWave signals can penetrate non-metallic materials like ABS plastic, wood, or glass, allowing you to conceal the module behind a cover.

Q: What is the maximum update rate for the data output?

A: The default configuration typically outputs data at around 10Hz to 20Hz, but this can be adjusted via the configuration commands depending on your specific application needs.

Q: Can multiple modules be used in the same room without interference?

A: It is possible, but you should configure them to operate on different frequency channels or time-division multiplex their operation to minimize cross-talk interference.

Q: Is there a library available for Arduino?

A: Yes, Waveshare provides a sample Arduino library on their Wiki page that handles the serial communication and parses the distance and speed data automatically.

Q: Can this sensor detect breathing patterns?

A: Yes, due to its high sensitivity to micro-motions, it can detect chest expansions associated with breathing when the subject is within close range (approx. 1-2 meters) and stationary.
