DCA1000EVM: DCA1000EVM not capturing data

So, if I understand correctly

• there are 2 DCA1000 Cards
• Using the same PC, the behavior is different
  • One of the cards works fine
  • The other card does not work

Is this correct?

It seems that the error in the snapshot is due to Matlab setup and not to the DCA1000

Are you using the same PC for capture with both DCA1000?

Thank you

Cesar

Yes. 

the other DCA1000 board is not mine though, I tried using someone else’s.

yes one works other doesn’t.

yes, using the same pc 

Hi,

It is possible that the second board is defective

Could you send us the full debug log?

thank you
Cesar
