The board will connect to your DVI monitor via its HDMI connector. You can use a HDMI/DVI-D cable to connect the board to the monitor. Your monitor should be able to support 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz, which is the default resolution used by the firmware.

Overview

This is the 1/3 chapter of the Getting Started with IGEP RADAR LAMBDA Tutorial Guide. In this first chapter, we will learn:

  • Connect the radar to a PC via Ethernet.
  • Boot the board with the default firmware.
  • Make first measurements using web server demo application.

Upon completion, you will be ready to continue with chapter 2/3 that explains more advanced tasks.

Requirements

In this tutorial we are going to use the following materials:

  • IGEP RADAR LAMBDA with its power supply
  • Network cable
  • PC with keyboard, mouse and monitor


Getting started

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:


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 between. A distance of about 3 meters between the radar and the wall would be good to make the first measurement.


Network

You may now plug the Ethernet cable into the 10/100 Ethernet jack of the IGEPv2 board of the radar to get network access. The default firmware configures the Ethernet device with static ip address (192.168.2.232).
