IWR6843ISK: Sense and direct HVAC control not working

Aleena N A

Part Number: IWR6843ISK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MMWAVEICBOOST

Hello everyone,

We have a requirement that uses the lab sense and direct HVAC control. The EVM was flashed with the bin file of the same. We are using it along with MMWAVEICBOOST. After flashing it was set to functional mode but the yellow LED at top(DS2) is still ON, it is not turning OFF in functional mode(when people counting or long-range bin files are flashed and put in functional mode the LED DS2 will be OFF). Is it like that?

Anyways we ran the mmwave people counting GUI and selected Sense and direct HVAC control from the drop-down and selected the corresponding cfg. But nothing was detected. Some points are shown but no tracks were shown. Frame number was increasing. How to resolve that?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Aleena,

I will look into this, but it should still be compatible. The LED behavior is not necessarily the same as other labs. Please look through the code for the GPIO (en/dis/toggle) controls for the behavior in this lab.

Which toolbox version are you using?

Thanks,

Jackson

Hello Jackson,

We have used the 4.9 version Industria toolbox.

Hi Aleena,

I just tried this with ITB version 4.10.1 and it works. It shows the point cloud and draws tracks. There haven't been any changes to this demo between 4.9 and 4.10, so I don't know what the issue is. Are there any errors printed in the console? If the pointcloud and frame number are being shown, then the demo is running. How are you sure there should be tracks created? Did you modify the CFG file at all?

Regards,

Jackson

Hello Jackson,

We haven't modified the cfg file. No errors were printed. Let me check with the new ITB.

Thanks and regards,
