Detect and Track Humans with mmWave Radar on an Arduino

Hello forum goers, got another guide for you all.

mmWave radar sensors are becoming incredibly accessible. Modules like the one we look at in the guide (Rd-03D) have a mind-blowing amount of signal processing going on under the hood. This can do things like detect a 0.3 Picosecond difference in signal return to determine the angle of a target and use the micro-doppler shifts of your breathing to only detect humans (and maybe animals but we didn’t test it). It’s a wickedly cool and inexpensive sensor to add to your project or just play around with so check it out: “Detect and Track Humans with mmWave Radar on an Arduino”



In this guide, we are going to be learning how to use the Rd-03D radar sensor to detect and track humans in your next Arduino project. We will be looking at how it works and what you can expect from it, how to wire up and code your Arduino to interf…

Hi Jarryd

Great Guide! Thankyou so much for doing all of the heavy lifting on this one :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:.
I was just wondering if there would eventually be a guide using Micropython on the Raspbery Pi Pico with its’ dedicated 2nd UART interface??

cheers Bruce

Hey @Bruce288839,

We are working on it right now and if all goes to plan it will be out Wednesday. It will hopefully have a few more bells and whistles with multi-target tracking!
