AWR1642BOOST: AWR1642BOOST:pplcount

Part Number: AWR1642BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AWR1642

Hello, I have a question about the example of counting people. I started the example in debug, I started the GUI application and see only the count of received packets (Frame count) and I do not see the count of points and people. What can this problem be related to?

  • Hi Konstantis,

    Can you send a screenshot of the output you are seeing?

    Thanks,
    Justin



  • I'm sending you a video of one of the problems, the first part is how to sew and start using GUI application. Second, if the settings are sent manually. Why the program does not process the command start.

  • I send you a video of the second problem. I configure the radar manually as in the previous video, then I run the GUI application, I see that the packets are coming but there are no data in them. When I view the data from the com port, I get the following log file. Why can the radar send packets without data?

  • Hi Konstantis,

    Unfortunately, the videos did not get uploaded. It seems like the serial ports are not getting configured properly. A few questions:

    Are you sending the CFG file over the UART port and expecting to receive data over the DATA port?
    Which matlab runtime are you using?
    How many people are in the scene?

    Thanks,
    Justin

  • Settings from the CFG file I send via the UART port and if the sample is loaded in debugging I see in the console that the radar is tuned. I retrieve data from the data port.Matlab R2017a. I attach the photo of the chip since I did not really understand how to determine the version ES2.0 or ES1.0.Tell me where it's more convenient to send the video so you can see it.

  • Hi Konstantis,

    You have an ES1.0 board.  Make sure you are using Industrial toolbox 2.3.0, as 2.3.1 is built for ES2.0 and will not work properly with the ES1. 

    Regards,

    Justin

  • Hello took an example on counting people out mmwave_industrial_toolbox_2_3_0, that's what the console writes when debugging. Example is not working.

  • Hi Konstantis,
      It looks like the demo is crashing during the radar data processing. Are you using a default chirp configuration, or did you develop your own?
      Thanks,
    Justin




  • Hi Justin.
       I using a default chirp configuration.I do everything as described in the manual to the example. If I'm stitching a bin file from a quick start then the radar does not respond to the configuration commands.

  • Hi Justin,

    I wanted to clarify the revision of the chip. The thing is that I read in Device Errata,identifying number:-

    Line 4:
    – 502 = AWR1642 Identifier
    – A = ES2.0
    – BLANK = ES1.0
    on my chip 502AC.So it turns out that I have ES2.0.Could you specify how you determined that I have ES1.0 revision?

  • You are correct. You do have an ES1.0.
