Please follow the next steps as indicated. You could change later the way you use the radar but it is very important you follow these instructions at least once for the first time. With this exercise you will start to understand how the radar works and most of your questions will be solved in a few minutes.
<br>
 
== Identify your Radar ==
 
First of all you should identify which kind of radar do you have.
 
IGEP RADAR SENSOR ORION can be an stand alone radar sensor or it can be plugged with any of 2 different processor boards: IGEPv2 or IGEP COM MODULE.
 
When combined with IGEPv2 the result is called IGEP RADAR LAMBDA, while when combined with IGEP COM MODULE the result is called IGEP RADAR EPSILON.
 
The next picture show both combinations:
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:RADAR COMBINATIONSs.jpg]]<br>
 
== Identify the different parts of the radar sensor ORION ==
 
It is very important you are able to identify the basic parts of the radar in order to avoid wrong set ups of measurement.
 
IGEP Radar Technology is designed for using World-Wide [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_band 24GHz ISM Band] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_band K-Band]).
 
The next picture show which is the 24GHz transmitting antenna, the receiving antenna, the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX):
 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:ORION DETAILS TOPs.jpg]]<br>
 
You can also take a look at the bottom face:<br>
 
<br>
 
[[Image:ORION BOTTOM.png]]
 
JL1 gives you access to the VCO signal
 
JD1 is the modulation signal
 
JD2 is the synchronism (you can use this signal to visualise the others on an oscilloscope)
 
JF1 is the IF signal
 
JC2 is the expansion connector for IGEPv2
 
JC4 and JC3 are the expansion connectors for IGEP&nbsp;COM MODULE
 
JP1 is the power connector
== Place the Radar on a stable surface ==
Place the radar over your desk and oriented with the ORION board (antenna) facing a wall of your office with nothing in betweenin order to have a clearly dominant reflection. A distance of about 3 meters between the radar and the wall would be good to make the a first measurement.

=== Network & Connectivity === You IGEP RADAR solution has some default network configurations, based on the [[IGEP_firmware_Yocto#Other_useful_information|IGEP Firmware Yocto]] configuration: {| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0" align="center" width="60%" style="text-align: center;"|-| bgcolor="#E0E0E0" || bgcolor="#E0E0E0" |'''IGEP RADAR LAMBDA'''| bgcolor="#E0E0E0" |'''IGEP RADAR EPSILON'''|-| bgcolor="#E0E0E0" | ''' Default <br> Configuration'''|[[Image:{{#lst:Template:Links|IGEP_RADAR_LAMBDA_Image}}|100px|center|link=]]|[[Image:IGEP RADAR EPSILON.png|100px|center|link=]]|-| bgcolor="#E0E0E0" style="text-align: center;"| [[Image:Conn_ethernet.jpg|50px|center|link=]] Ethernet| static 192.168.5.1 <br> static 192.168.2.232 <br> DHCP (client) <br> http://radar (Windows) <br> http://radar.local (Linux & Mac)| N/A|-| style="text-align: center;" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" | [[Image:Conn_wireless.png|50px|center|link=]] Wifi| colspan="2" | SSID: IGEP_xxxx (ad-hoc)<br> static 192.168.6.1 <br> DHCP (server) <br> http://radar (Windows) <br> http://radar.local (Linux & Mac)|-| style="text-align: center;" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" | [[Image:Conn_usb.jpg|50px|center|link=]] USB| colspan="2" | [[Using USB ethernet gadget to communicate]]|-| style="text-align: center;" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" | [[Image:Conn_uart.jpg|50px|center|link=]] UART| colspan="2" | [[Using serial debug port to communicate]]|-| style="text-align: center;" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" | [[Image:Conn_bluetooth.jpeg|50px|center|link=]] Bluetooth| colspan="2" | [[How to setup Marvell bluetooth]]|}  All the peripherals can be configured with your own parameters. 
You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 In this tutorial we are going to connect to your IGEP Radar solution via '''Ethernet jack of the IGEPv2 board of the radar to get network access''' or '''Wifi'''. The default firmware configures the   '''Plug an Ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.2.232). Start cable''' between your PC IGEP Radar solution and plug your computer '''or connect to the Ethernet cable to itIGEP_xxxx ad-hoc wireless network''' of your device.
=== Source Power ===
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:RADAR ON TABLE SET UPsLAMBDA 1st MEASUREs.jpg]]  === Radar Field of View === Be aware of the radar angle of detection. The radar will only detect objects within its field of view. The angle of detection is about 24º in horizontal direction and about 12º in vertical direction:<br>  [[Image:FIELD OF VIEW.jpg]]
=== Wait few minutes ===
Once you apply power, please wait a few minutes while IGEPv2 board boots with the default firmware flashed on the internal memory. You will see LEDs from IGPv2 board IGEPv2 blinking until system has booted, then you will see a fixed lighted green LED.
=== Run Web Browser on PC ===
Run a web browser on your PC with the ability to work with gnuplot4.6CANVAS (HTML5). We recommend the use of "Mozzilla Mozilla FireFox" web browser that you can install and download for free at: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US  {{Message/ Information Message|title=TITLE|message=If you are using an '''old version of the IGEP Radar software''', please check the [[:Category:IGEP_Radar#Legacy software|Legacy Software section]] for specific tutorials for your version.}}
=== Connect to Radar IP ===
Put To connect to the radar IP 192.168.2.232 on the web , open a new browser. If the radar has already started you will see the Home page window and type any of the web these URL addresses: * http://radar application demo, if not, please be patient and wait a little bit more until the (Windows)* http://radar starts. You will see a home page similar to this one: local (Linux or Mac)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [[Imageor directly to any of these IP addresses (remember to setup your network adapter in your computer to the same network subnet):WEB-HOME PAGEs* http://192.168.2.232* http://192.168.5.jpg]] 1
Do not worry if your home If the radar has already started you will see the Home page differs from of the pictureweb radar application demo, there are some different format versionsif not, please be patient and wait a little bit more until the radar starts. You will see a home page similar to this one:
Congratulations! You have connected to the radar for the first time.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; [[Image:WEB HOME PAGE NEWs.jpg]]<br>
<br>  Congratulations! You have successfully connected with radar. Now you can start to make measurements and learn about radar possibilities. Do not worry if your home page differs from the picture, there are some different format versions but are equivalent in features.  <br> <section end=Tutorial /> {{Navigation/IGEP Technology Devices Guides/Next Step|Name={{#lst:Template:Links|IGEP_RADAR_LAMBDA_Name}}|Community_MainPage={{#lst:Template:Links|IGEP_RADAR_LAMBDA_Community_MainPage}}Getting Started/Ending
