Re: Download NanaoVNA Labview

 

the guy who did that on youtube has a long thread on eevblogg,for some reason he wont release the s/w has been asked about releasing it a few times but always replys with what looks like b.s lame excuses,think its more about the guys ego,just my thoughts.


Re: History

 

That seems unlikely. On the contrary; the development to move it from
300MHz to 900MHz would likely not have happened, and the product would be a
largely unknown hobby project - akin to what it was a year ago.

Open sourcing things like this creates innovation in the community. I'm
still amazed at the animosity I see against being open about one's
inventions and ideas in the amateur radio community - I would have thought
the nature of it would be more conducive to openness.

edy555 decided to open source SW AND HW to avoid bad clones.

Re: Free version of LabVIEW coming

 

While not fully compatible with LabView you can use GNU Octave (free) to very quickly create all kind of nice instrument control and computational applications.
Octave has (almost?) all of the computational functions of LabView and it also has UI capability so you can quickly create a user interface to control you device.

Free version of LabVIEW coming

 

While looking up the various versions of LabVIEW, I came across this webpage:



Where it was mentioned that National Instruments is going to be developing a free 'community' version of LabVIEW.

Please refer to the webpage for further info.


Re: History

 

With regard to historical references, while edy555 has not followed up on his original kit with a fully manufactured product he has remained at the forefront of the NanoVNA firmware evolution and also maintains the NanoVNA.py Python class module.

His GitHub site where he maintains the firmware repository is at: . I've assumed by association that ttrftech and edy555 are pseudonyms for the same person.

Re: Download NanaoVNA Labview

 

My company has the full $3,000 version of LabView. However, there's a VERY
INEXPENSIVE version available for "Home" use at $49 from Digilent:



It is the 2014 version - but for most hobbyists it's all you need.

Cheers,
Lyle

It is Labview a National Instruments product and its pretty nice tool for
building test or measurement systems and even simulations. I've used it
with PNAs to build step and repeat measurement systems for antennas
ranges.

Re: Download NanaoVNA Labview

 

That LabVIEW application was written by a gentleman over at eevblog and he is not releasing it to anyone. It runs on LabVIEW.?

Re: History

 

Hello PJH,
thank you for asking about my involvement. My involvement is "only"
software, yes. ;-) I have had some pokes at the firmware, but nothing
published - it was these attempts (at increasing the number of data points)
that led me to develop NanoVNA-Saver in order to solve that problem. It was
further prompted by the lack of any open source and community-supported
software for the NanoVNA. By now there is a number of software options -
but as far as I can tell, still only one that's licensed as "free software".

Who is edy555? Who is Hugen and how is he involved? What is the involvement

Would someone on the list please pass along the history to me; I would

Re: Download NanaoVNA Labview

 

It appears the software is National Labview- prepare to take out a mortgage.

Re: Download NanaoVNA Labview

 

I believe LabView is a product of National Instruments. I hope I'm wrong
in this case, but anything from National Instruments costs lost of green
backs ($$$).

Re: Using the Nano as a receiver?

 

Thanks for your comments! Based on these I was able to verify this functionality. There are two issues:

the bandwidth of a typical FM signal
the low sensitivity if the Ch1 input

With only 101 points on the display you have to look quite thoroughly for a 100kHz wide signal in a 50kHz ¡ª 900MHz scan. It is physically impossible to see. Only when I use 5MHz scan steps you can clearly see the signal. With only ?VHF¡° given as frequency indication that required a lot of runs from 100 to 350MHz. I did find the signal from that wireless microphone at 251.6MHz.

In addition you had to hold that micro quite close to the antenna to make the nano register the signal. Supposedly it transmits with some 10mW which should be plenty of signal in a distance of 1 cm from the receiving antenna.

Re: History

 

Patrick,
Please browse the forum Wiki /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home
edy555 is a Ham located in Japan and essentially took an existing idea from a couple of Texas Hams and developed sophisticated software and created a kit for the original NanoVNA and opensourced all of it. /g/nanovna-users/topic/51382131#6796
Look at the files section on the forum where I've placed his original (translated) design notes: /g/nanovna-users/files/Miscellaneous/NanoVNA%20design%20notes%20by%20edy555
Gen Hu (hugen), a Ham in China then took edy555's design and improved on the software and hardware and began selling them as assembled devices on the TaoBao website.
Soon, a pile of copies/clones appeared of hugen's design.Now, version 1 of the NanoVNA hardware which tops out at 1.5GHz is mature and edy555 & hugen are working with others to design NanoVNA V2 that will go up to 3GHz. In the meantime, another developer created the NanoVNA-F with a larger screen but tops out at 1.2GHz

You really need to go through (all 8000) forum posts as everything you need is there.?

Re: CAL -> RESET -> CALIBRATION clarification...

 

Herb and Larry thanx both,
all clear now, confirming what I thought and hoped that CAL->RESET doesn't clear the current contents of C0-C4 while "clearconfig 1234" does.
Best regards and thanx again for the great work that you and many others are so generously giving to the rest of us... I hope one day to be able to contribute too.
