IWR1443BOOST: mmWave Studio connects to device but no data is captured

Part Number: IWR1443BOOST
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DCA1000EVM

When I boot up mmWave Studio I select the COM or UART and click "Set" followed by "Connect". I then run the DataCaptureDemo_xWR1443.lua script. Everything works fine but when I go to the SensorConfig page and click on "DCA1000 ARM" followed by "Trigger Frame" I see the lights on the board flash but nothing happens.

I check the directory "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_01_00_00_00\mmWaveStudio\PostProc\adc_data.bin" but the file does not exist so I don't think it is collecting data.

Here is my setup:

IWR1443BOOST ==> DCA1000EVM Data Capture Card ==> Ethernet Port (IP Address: 192.168.33.30)

Any idea why I am not getting any data?

    Hi Bob,

    I want to double check to see if you are running a custom lua script, or running the script TI provided, which is called DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua.

    If you are using the TI script, I recommend removing the lines starting at line 146 where Profile Config is performed, and using the GUI for the profile configuration onwards. I recommend configuration in this order:

    1. Connect to DCA1000
    2. Profile Cfg
    3. Chirp Cfg
    4. Frame Cfg
    5. Arm Frame
    6. Trigger

    Regards,

    Justin

    Here is a screenshot of what my SensorConfig page looks like.

    Here is the routine I follow:

    Connection Tab

    1. Click "Set (1)"

    2. Click "Disconnect (2)"

    3. Load "C:\ti\mmwave_studio_01_00_00_00\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua"

    4. Click "Run"

    SensorConfig Tab

    1. Click "Set" for Profile

    2. Click "Set" for Chirp

    3. Click "Set" for Frame

    4. Click "DCA1000"

    5. Click "Trigger Frame"

    The buttons become unclickable for a second and then become clickable again. I tried clicking on "PostProc" but nothing happens. Once again the file is empty when I find it in the File Explorer.

    Hi Bob,

    It seems you are not pressing "Set Up DCA1000". Please press this after running the script, and before setting the profile.
