IWR6843ISK-ODS: Error launching the IWR6843ISK-ODS

It seems that the sensor is not responding. Please verify the following:

1.  The radar itself works with the people counting demo (using the GUI on a windows machine) 

2. Your custom cfg file is compatible with the people counting demo on a windows machine 

3. Serial port and baud rate are correct in the launch file

Which Ubuntu and ROS version are you using? 

Hi Sabeeh,

We have received this feedback from our customer,

When I open the people count GUI on my window machine, I am not able to select the configuration file ????

!--
This file will launch rViz along with the mmWave sensor node and configure a TI mmWave 1642 sensor using a 2D config

Also, I attached the cfg file

Hi Danilo,

We have seen this issue, and it is fixed in the latest toolbox. Please use the latest industrial toolbox. 

Hi Sabeeh,

According to our customer, he downloaded the latest toolbox from the link below but still he is unable to select the configuration.

Hi Danilo, 

This error seems to occur when the toolbox is not installed in the c:\ti\ directory. Please have the customer follow the installation steps: https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AOeX-yPbUcqy5W0kmizXEQ__VLyFKFf__LATEST 

Therefore, the path should be C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_8_0\

Hi Sabeeh,

Here is the response of our customer,

As I mentioned its launching with my jetson system, but not publishing any output as seen in video.

Regards,

Danilo
