Re: Android app cable not working!

 

Kayak,
it seems to me, that you place the OTG adapter at the NanoVNA and not at the smartphone. Why do you need otherwise the"...USB-A to
micro-USB cables.."?
You need an OTG adapter plugged into the smartphone. The OTG adapter has a USB-A socket, into which you plug the USB-A to USB-C cable, which comes with the NanoVNA.

I also ordered one during the "New Years" shutdown (wink-wink) and knew
there would be a wait. Never heard a thing. Till I read these messages. I
sent a second message to Maggie K.. Hopefully this one will be answered..

========================================================================================
With a serial terminal program connected to the NonaVNA, typing data(0) will return raw complex values for CH0. Typing data(1) will do the same for CH1. The complex data can be converted to magnitude and phase by computing the log and angle.

Using NanoVNA-saver or another program, data saved to s1p or s2p is also saved as complex values which may be likewise converted.

I had something similar, re-setting Smith chart Scale to 1 fixed

I hope I have compiled useful material. It works for me.

Re: negative impedance values in smith chart

 

hello, hernan,
I suspect that the support values are too far apart during calibration. Therefore the interpolation can lead to incorrect results. Try it again with NanoVNA-Saver and a smaller scan range.

Re: Android app cable not working!

 

two android phones, three cables and using the web app as well as
the android app, always the same "no device found" error.
Sadly, some Android devices for which OTG connects to e.g keyboards or flash drives
will not work with virtual COM port devices,
but you could also try nanoVNA with this Serial USB Terminal app using its CDC device setting

Re: negative impedance values in smith chart

 

Sorry I forgot to mention it. I did calibrate it. And also tried with a
second nanoVNA. In both cases I got the weird impedance values.

So far I've been using the vna to measure HF antennas with no problems. The
results always matched other swr meters, for example.

I recently tried to measure input impedance on a helical filter. the

what could be the cause for this?

the filter was only 137mhz so it should be well within the range of the
VNA. the expected impedance is 50 ohms. the filter passband was measured
correctly, and the return loss showed a sane value. only the smith chart
was empty.

thanks.

Hi

I just had a shipment from them.

It's due for delivery tomorrow.

She has didn't respond to any messages, but the package got shipped.

Re: Android app cable not working!

 

Before I go to that testing, my Windows 10 PC communicates fine with
the Nano using nanovnasaver...

but two android phones, three cables and using teh web app as well as
the android app, always the same "no device found" error.

If that works, then refer to the following thread and see if your phone can talk through a terminal app...

I went to my alibaba before asking question here.
thanks Hugen for the answer, I paid the extra 10$ for DHL shipping cause I
wanted it faster.. I do understand there was a longueur holiday then
expected. so will have to wait.


Left a message yesterday. still no response.. I just hope she is ok , same

Mine also. VNASaver is somewhat more in line with other tools. I''ve been wondering why, too.
