    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Builds a DIY golf launch monitor using OPS243-A Doppler radar and optional TI IWR6843 angle radar to measure ball and club metrics.
    • Offers an affordable, open-source alternative with precise radar-based measurements and extensible hardware support for golf shot analysis.
    • Use for creating a custom golf launch monitor to track ball speed, club speed, and carry distance with Raspberry Pi integration.
    • Use for swing speed training by capturing air swings and speed-stick data without requiring ball impact detection.
    • Use for syncing golf session data to a cloud service for remote review while keeping raw radar data private on the device.
