3.0 Introduction
This document outlines how to get started with the D3 Engineering DesignCore® RS-Lx432S Radar Sensor.
3.1 Prerequisites
Operating the sensor will require the following hardware: · RS-Lx432S Sensor · A suitable LV UART to USB bridge can be obtained from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09F6GZGX6
Exercising the sensor will require the following software packages be installed: · D3 Visualizer: See your downloads on the D3 Web Store.
Optional for reprogramming: · Uniflash: https://www.ti.com/tool/UNIFLASH (To load firmware to the sensor).
4.0 Interfaces
4.1 J801 Multifunction Connector
This connector is a Molex 53261-0971. The location and orientation pinout is as shown in Figure 1 and pin definitions are in Table 1.
Table 1. J801 Functions
J801 pin LV UART Mode Function 1 Ground 2 /EXT_RST (into sensor) Pull low to place the sensor in reset.
EXT_SOP0 (into sensor) When pulled low during boot the sensor with boot into flash mode. For normal 3 boot this pin should be left floating. 4 UART_RX (into sensor) This should be connected to the LV UART to USB bridge's TX data output 5 Not Connected 6 Not Connected 7 UART_TX (out of sensor) This should be connected to the LV UART to USB bridge's RX data input 8 EXT_SYNC (into sensor) 9 5 VDC IN (into sensor)

5.2 Procedure
With this procedure you can collect and visualize data from the sensor.
1. Ensure Pin 3 of the connector is floating. 2. Apply Power to Pin 9. 3. Verify that the LED is green, indicating power good. 4. Get the D3 Visualizer, P/N 2000127 from your downloads on the D3 Web Store and unzip into a folder. 5. Start the visualizer and set both radar sensor serial ports to the port of your serial interface. 6. Select Chirp file as "chirps\l6432\TrackingClassification_MidBw.cfg" by browsing into the chirps folder
from the visualizer. Other versions will use a different Chirp file. 7. Click Start. 8. Observe the output and observe the dynamic returns displayed as shown in Figure 11.

Figure 11. D3 Visualizer Data Display
6.0 Running Demos Provided by Texas Instruments
With the D3 RS-Lx432S sensor, you can also run demos provided by Texas Instruments.
Texas Instruments demos can be found within TI's resource explorer (https://dev.ti.com/tirex). Navigate to mmWave radar sensors -> Embedded Software -> Radar Toolbox ­ X.Y.Z.W -> Getting Started with the xWRL6432.
Please note that to keep the D3 RS-Lx432S sensor size small, the antenna geometry is different from that on the TI evaluation kit. To account for this, you must alter the configuration file to be used.
Replace any existing antGeometryCfg command with the revised version below:
% Correct D3 RS-L6432S and RS-L6432V antGeometryCfg 0 3 1 2 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 0 2.418 2.418

If this command is not already part of the configuration file, insert this line after the frameCfg command and before the guiMonitor command in the file.
TI has made the following demos available:
1. Out Of Box Demo ­ Identical to what's described in this guide. 2. Human vs. Non-human Classification ­ Point cloud returns, clustering and tracking, with human
classification. 3. In-cabin Life Presence Detection Demo ­ Detects automotive cabin occupancy, for example to detect
children left behind. 4. In-cabin Intruder Detection Demo ­ Detects people outside a vehicle who are reaching inside. 5. Truck Bed Monitoring Demo ­ Detects someone reaching into the bed of a pickup truck. 6. Radar Doorbell ­ Detects someone approaching the door. 7. Indoor Occupancy Monitoring ­ Detects people inside a room.

8. Onlooker Detection ­ Detects someone approaching an office worker from behind.
All of these demos use the binary that is supplied with your RS-Lx432S, but use different chirp configurations and visualizers.
To support deployable functionality, D3 can provide support to improve and tune the available algorithms, and also can design and implement algorithms from scratch. Please contact us for more information.
7.0 (Optional) Programming the Sensor
Your sensor will ship with software already programmed, so this procedure is only provided in case you want to reprogram it.
7.1 Connections for Programming

Figure 3: Connections for Programming
7.2 Procedure
1. Ensure any USB cable is disconnected from the radar module (this prevents possible back-feeding). 2. Ground Pin 3 (EXT_SOP0) 3. Apply +5V to the sensor over its supply line (Pin9). (Booting with Pin 3 held low causes the L6432 to boot
in firmware flash mode.) 4. Ensure that the LED is Green indicating good power 5. Release Pin 3 6. Connect the SENSOR to the PC 7. Launch Uniflash. 8. Depending on which sensor you have, select from the list of available devices then click Start. (Note: these
devices are found in the mmWave category). For example, for the RS-L6432S, select IWRL6432.
