Hi,

I would like to capture raw data from DCA1000 via ethernet. Do you have a python script that already performs that?

Ghislain,

You can use a LUA script that is included in the installation for mmWaveStudio that you can download here: http://software-dl.ti.com/ra-processors/esd/MMWAVE-STUDIO/latest/index_FDS.html

The LUA script is located here: C:\ti\mmwave_studio_02_00_00_02\mmWaveStudio\Scripts\DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua

You can modify this script based on your needs.

Regards,
Kyle

Thank you for your answer. I have an issue with that script.

I get the following error:

LuaError: [string "<python>"]:10: attempt to index a nil value (global 'ar1')
stack traceback:
[string "<python>"]:10: in main chunk

Do you have any suggestions to resolve this?

Thank you,

Ghislain

Ghislain,

Please make sure that you are running this script from within mmWaveStudio and not from a Python shell. Please also make sure that you have MATLAB runtime version 8.5.1 (32-bit) installed on your machine.

You can reference this training video for detailed instructions: https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video

Kyle
