IWR6843AOPEVM: AOP GUI crash with demo lab - area scanner

Part Number: IWR6843AOPEVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843

Hi,

I've received the IWR6843 AOP EVM board but when I try to implement the demo lab ”area scanner” found once detected object close to radar or 2~3 object pass through detect area that point cloud will be increased largely, It will cause test GUI crash. Do you ever occur in this situation?

Thanks.

  • Hi James,

    Could you please share the Industrial tool box release that you are using and the error that you are getting.

    Thanks

  • Hi Yogesh,

    I using industrial toolbox V4.0.1. When the error occurs, the GUI interface just stops there.

    Software configuration:

    <BIN>area_scanner_68xxAOP_lab.bin

    <GUI>mmw_area_scanner.exe

    <CFG>mmw_area_scanner_68xxAOP.cfg

    CMD window log:

    Starting UI for mmWave Area Scanner Demo ....

    comportnum_str =

    'COM4'


    comportnum_str =

    'COM3'

    Opening configuration file C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_0_1\labs\area_scanner\68xx_area_scanner_v1\chirp_configs\mmw_area_scanner_68xxAOP.cfg ...

    Sending configuration from C:\ti\mmwave_industrial_toolbox_4_0_1\labs\area_scanner\68xx_area_scanner_v1\chirp_configs\mmw_area_scanner_68xxAOP.cfg file to IWR16xx ...

  • Hi James, 

    It seems like the visualizer is not able to handle the number of data points. Could you try to reduce the sensitivity by changing

    cfarCfg -1 0 2 8 4 3 0 8 0

    to 

    cfarCfg -1 0 2 8 4 3 0 12 0

    Thanks

    Yogesh

  • Hi Yogesh,

    It's work!  Thanks for your help.

    Thank you.

    James
