Yeah, there were a few teardowns and reviews of the Walabot online. I have not seen that one yet.
Thanks for linking. =)

Are there 18 or 15 antennas?
Santa Claus Impersonator / about 2 months ago / 1
As listed in the datasheet, the Walabot Creator has 15 antennas and Walabot Developer has 18
antennas. The information listed in under the Features tab is correct, with 18 antennas, since this
product is the Developer version.

What is the ERP of this? And what frequency does this operate at?
bboyho / about 2 years ago / 1
I am not familiar with the acronym "ERP" but the frequency range is listed in the description under the
"Features" tab:
6.3–8GHz

What kind of an image do you get if you use it like a studfinder on a wall?
bboyho / about 2 years ago * / 2
It depends on the program and app that you are using. Some of it is documented in the tutorial => Getting
Started with Walabot: Example SDK | Imaging - Short Range. If you were reading a pipe behind a wall or
table:
It would look like this in the SDK for Windows:
This is how the values may look when using it with Python on a Raspberry Pi:
Those are a few basic examples to get started. You would need to adjust the code for your application.
Eventually, you could develop a project similar to the Android app to see the orientation of the material
behind a wall similar to the SDK for Windows, map an image, and determine the dielectric properties of
the material (like metal, plastic, or wood) => https://youtu.be/p3gDX75a_b4 . I have not tested the Walabot
Developer's app for Android.
