Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM
Tool/software:
I’m using a TI IWR1843BOOST radar (no DCA1000EVM).
The only thing I need right now is to tune the on-board .cfg file.
Enable long-dwell zero-Doppler (stationary) detections for vehicles & pedestrians, raise point-cloud density, and mark ~15 rectangular zones (≈ 8 m × 10 m) for dwell-time statistics.
-
Which exact .cfg commands & fields directly affect stationary detections
-
How to tweak each parameter—state which direction to move the value (increase / decrease / disable) and why it lengthens the visibility of stationary objects for 5–15 minutes.
-
