Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Radar Click is based on the MM5D91-00, a presence detection sensor module with integrated mmWave technology from Jorjin Technologies Inc. It counts the number of people entering or exiting an entrance, simplifies the implementation of mmWave sensors in the band of 61.0 to 61.5GHz, and includes the ARM Cortex-M4F-based processor system 1Tx 3Rx antenna and onboard regulator. This Click board™ is built to demonstrate the function of the entrance counter of the 60GHz radar sensor with its sophisticated radar presence detection algorithms. Characterized by low power consumption and high resolution, this board represents a suitable solution for various presence-sensing applications, from office and home to commercial buildings. Its detection range goes up
to 10m for macro motion, representing human movements, and 5m for micromotion, which stands for stationary human (normal breathing and blinking eyes) in sitting or standing positions with no active signs for at least 30 seconds. Immune to environmental factors such as temperature, wind, sunlight, and dust/debris, the MM5D91-00 also comes with azimuth and elevation field of view of ±45° and ±40°. The MM5D91-00 communicates with MCU using the UART interface with the default baud rate of 115200bps for data transfer. In addition, it also uses several mikroBUS™ pins. An active-low reset signal routed on the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket activates a hardware reset of the radar module. It also has three general-purpose pins, routed to the AN, PWM,
and INT pins of the mikroBUS™ socket marked as GP2, GP1, and GP0 to signal an essential change in device status, alongside its green, red, and blue LED indicators. Green LED stands for active presence indication, while red LED represents non-presence indication. Blue LED serves for bootloader mode indication. This Click board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
Features overview
Development board
PIC32MZ Clicker is a compact starter development board that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It comes with an onboard 32-bit PIC32MZ microcontroller with FPU from Microchip, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a mikroProg connector, and a header for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to its compact design with clear and easy-recognizable silkscreen markings, it provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under
any circumstances. Each part of the PIC32MZ Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the PIC32MZ Clicker programming method, using USB HID mikroBootloader, or through an external mikroProg connector for PIC, dsPIC, or PIC32 programmer, the Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. The USB Micro-B connection can provide up to 500mA of current, which is more than enough to operate all onboard
and additional modules. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board, including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, reset button, and several buttons and LED indicators. PIC32MZ Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Library Description
This library contains API for Radar Click driver.
Key functions:
radar_get_eventThis function waits for an IN/OUT event or ACK command response.radar_get_temperatureThis function reads the chip internal temperature.radar_set_detection_rangeThis function sets the min and max presence detection values.
Open Source
Code example
The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of Radar Click board by reading and parsing
* events as well as the module internal temperature.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and logger and performs the Click default configuration.
*
* ## Application Task
* Waits for the detection event and then displays on the USB UART the distance of detected
* object, accuracy, elapsed time since last reset, and the module internal temperature.
