• QUICK_START.md - How to run the radar
• NETWORK_VERIFICATION.md - ⚠️ Critical: DCA1000 doesn't respond to ping!
• HARDWARE_REQUIREMENTS.md - Hardware setup
• FIRMWARE_FLASHING_GUIDE.md - Firmware installation

# 1. Verify network (DON'T use ping - it won't work!)
ip neigh show | grep 192.168.33.180

# 2. Clean previous sessions
./cleanup_radar.sh

# 3. Run radar
./run_radar.sh

1. DCA1000 does NOT respond to ping - Use ip neigh show to verify connection
2. Always run cleanup_radar.sh first - Prevents port conflicts
3. SOP jumpers must be (0,0,0) - Functional mode for normal operation
4. Network must be 192.168.33.30/24 - Configure before starting radar
