AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642 interfacing with MATLAB to capture data (without using DCA1000)

Hello Vishal,

In case you want to capture the raw ADC samples and process it on your PC, you will need to use a data capture card like DCA1000 for this purpose. 

But in case you want the final object/point cloud data, AWR1642 device can be programmed with custom application (mmw demo from mmwave SDK) and it can process the ADC data internally on the DSP and send out the final object list as result, which can then be plotted on mmWave Demo Visualizer tool. 

Now it all depends on what kind of data you want from the device.

Ishita

If I follow the Mutli-Gesture lab from the TI website, Will I still require a DCA1000 card to capture the data? 

I followed the whole Multi-Gesture lab and I encountered this error. I have posted another query.

can you help with this?

Thanks
