IWR6843: Sensor restarts after sending 'sensorStart' cmd

Bhavik

Part Number: IWR6843

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am sending all the commands, followed by the 'sensorStart' command at the end.
All the other commands work fine, but when I send the 'sensorStart' command, Sensor gets restarted.

Please assist me in resolving this issue.

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you using the unmodified out of box demo with an unmodified configuration file? Does the device start chirping? Please send screenshots.

Best,

Nate

Hi,

The code is working on PC, same does not work from rpi.
How can I debug the problem or what could be the problem if you have come acrossed anywhere.

Thanks!

Hi,

If the device works as expected when connected to a PC, but not an RPi, then the problem is likely with the RPi. We don't recommend running our visualizer tool on the raspberry pi, but if you choose to, you can reach out to RPi support, since the visualizer is just python code written on top of open source libraries.

Best,

Nate
