SparkFun Acconeer XM125: Question about Feasibility of Heart Rate Detection

Development Boards Other Microcontrollers
1

Hi SpartFun Support Team,

I am considering using the SparkFun Acconeer XM125 module for a university research project focused on non-contact heart rate detection. I am aware that Acconeer provides firmware for vital sign monitoring, including heart rate detection.

I would like to confirm the following regarding the XM125 module:

  1. Can I flash the XM125 with the official Acconeer heart rate detection firmware and use this board for the corresponding application?
  2. Once flashed, is it possible to retrieve raw I/Q data or envelope data from the sensor?

Thank you for spending time checking my issues and looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Phuoc Dang

  1. Sure - we have general instructions for flashing FW Flashing Firmware to the XM125 - SparkFun Qwiic Pulsed Coherent Radar Sensor Breakout - Acconeer XM125 Hookup Guide , although the implentation we cannot advise on…we just cover our FW and its examples

  2. You’d need to research this either within the vital signs FW/integration guide/notes/etc , or inquire with Acconeer and see what they can tell ya
