Sensor Events

LD2450 mmWave Radar

ld2450_targets

Emitted once for each valid 30-byte LD2450 target frame.

Field Type Description
type string ld2450_targets
uptime uint32 Milliseconds since boot
target_count uint8 Number of valid targets in the frame (0-3)
has_data bool True after at least one valid frame has been parsed
valid_frames uint32 Cumulative valid frame counter
targets array Zero to three target objects

Target object:

Field Type Description
slot uint8 1-3 target slot
x_mm int16 Lateral position, millimetres
y_mm int16 Forward position, millimetres
speed_cm_s int16 Radial speed, cm/s; negative = approaching, positive = receding
resolution_mm uint16 Reported distance resolution, millimetres

ld2450_presence

Emitted on a presence transition.

Field Type Description
type string ld2450_presence
uptime uint32 Milliseconds since boot
present bool True when one or more targets are present
target_count uint8 Number of valid targets at transition time

ld2450_error

Emitted for parse errors or when no valid frame has arrived after startup.

Field Type Description
type string ld2450_error
kind string parse_error or no_data
msg string Human-readable error
active bool Driver active state
valid_frames uint32 Cumulative valid frame counter
invalid_frames uint32 Cumulative invalid frame counter
dropped_bytes uint32 Bytes discarded while hunting for a frame header
last_frame_age_ms uint32 Age of the last valid frame, or 0 if none

The app should treat ld2450_targets as recovery evidence and clear the last transient error state when new data arrives.
