DCA1000EVM: Cannot capture data, partId is nil value

Andrew Nguyen1
Prodigy 130 points
Part Number: DCA1000EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: IWR6843, MMWAVEICBOOST, , IWR6843AOP

Hi, I have  a setup of IWR6843 AoP EVM + MMWAVEICBOOST + DCA1000EVM connected together.

USB ports are connected properly from MMWAVEICBOOST, it has 5V external power as well. Status is connected.

when I start the capture script, DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua, it has the error above, how to check it?
Thank you.

    I am using IWR6843AOP EVM 

    Is it supported by mmWave studio?

    I follow the training video already here:https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video 

    Then I open the DCA1000EVM Quick Start Guide to load DataCapturedemo_xWR.lua after everything is connected. But pressing "Run" I saw the issue above.

    Thank you so much, it is working perfectly right now, it's all about the order we start capturing, this document must be attached to DCA1000EVM download page!

    Great to hear that.  You are right, I should upload this document somewhere.  I am still looking where is the best place to upload it. 

    How did you find the training video already here:https://training.ti.com/dca1000-training-video?  which was not listed in DCA1000EVM download page.

    Best,

    Zigang
