This document serves as a quick start guide for the D3 Engineering DesignCore® RS-Lx432S Radar Sensor. It provides essential information for setting up and operating the sensor, including RF compliance notices, interface details, and procedures for collecting and visualizing data.
The guide begins with important RF compliance statements for both FCC and ISED regulations, covering identification labels, compliance statements, and exposure guidelines. It then details the hardware and software prerequisites necessary for operating the sensor, such as the RS-Lx432S sensor itself, a suitable LV UART to USB bridge, and the D3 Visualizer software. Instructions are provided for connecting the sensor via the J801 multifunction connector, including pin definitions and LED status indicators.
The guide also outlines the steps for collecting and visualizing data using the D3 Visualizer, including connecting the sensor, configuring the software, and interpreting the output. Additionally, it provides information on running demos provided by Texas Instruments, with specific instructions for adapting the configuration files to the D3 RS-Lx432S sensor's antenna geometry. Finally, the guide includes an optional section on reprogramming the sensor, detailing the connections and procedures for using Uniflash to load new firmware.
