Hi,

 

Here, I encountered an initialization error with the C1001 60GHz mmWave sensor when using it with the Arduino MKR WiFi 1010 and ESP-WROOM-32, the output and code in below.

 

serial monitor output:

========================

init error!!!

Initialization successful

Start switching work mode

error!!!

error!!!

error!!!

error!!!

error!!!

The begin/init routine is rather simple, it reads a small amount of data off the serial port.  Since you are using an ESP32, 

 

  #if defined(ESP32)
 Serial1.begin(115200, SERIAL_8N1, /*rx =*/D3, /*tx =*/D2);
 #else
 Serial1.begin(115200);
 #endif

Hit Submit before I was done, since you are using an ESP32, why not include the additional port setup parameters for the begin() function?  I'm not sure what the defaults are for the ESP-WROOM-32's non-native UART pins.  Browsing the various project examples I find these additional parameters included in all of them.

Also, the ESP-WROOM-32's native UART pins are GPIO16 and GPIO17, you could give them a try.  

 

Lastly, are your RX and TX connected to the correct GPIOs on the ESP32?  Are they crossed or directly connected?

I had similar issues until I soldered the connections and made sure it had enough power and it works as expected now.
