Comment on I built a mmWave material classification radar (2025)

So thankful the author posted this. We often learn more from failure than success. Learning from the failures of others is how we can move forward. The lessons learned at the bottom of the article are gold.

thank you so much for your feedback, it was hard to admit defeat, but at the end looking back at what I built, the parts where I learnt about RF, and just struggled, refactoring the code for the sim (thank god cc is not good enough to understand real world physics functionning for now) were the most satisfying moments

Was this AI comment necessary?

Edit: maybe I am seeing AI everywhere! False positive. :-)

Your comment still has a lot of value, I didn't detail it in the article but this radar is usually used for autonomous vehicles, or person tracking.
