Other Parts Discussed in Thread: INA826EVM
I have an IWR1443BOOST board connected to a DCA100EVM using the 60-Pin adapter. I have modified the DataCaptureDemo_xWR.lua file to continously transmit and receive data. I ran the script and used WireShark to confirm that I was getting a steady stream of packets from the board. I then tried to replace the Software Trigger with a Hardware Trigger with the following setup:
USRP N210 -> INA826EVM -> IWR1443BOOST (J6 20-Pin Connector)
I connected the V_out of the INA826EVM to Pin 9 of the IWR1443BOOST.
I connected the GND of the INA826EVM to Pin 4 of the IWR1443BOOST.
Here are some pictures:
I then modified the .lua script to use the Hardware Trigger like so:
if (ar1.FrameConfig(0, 1, 0, 1, 0.5, 0, 2) == 0) then
WriteToLog("FrameConfig Success\n", "green")
else
WriteToLog("FrameConfig failure\n", "red")
end
RSTD.Sleep(1000)
Then I ran the script and this was the output of the log:

WireShark shows some initial communicate between the board and the PC but once the board has the MAC address of the PC it just stops sending data.
I have also used an oscilloscopeto confirm that I am receiving a square wave.
This is a screenshot of mmWave Studios. The program connects just fine and the script is able to run.
