Re: NanoVNA 4 version 1.0.? Only save at 800Hz
On Stop frequency input you use x1 (input as Hz, not in MHz), so input result 7.3Hz, NanoVNA not allow set this value and set minimum 800Hz
Start value less then 800Hz, so and Start value also set to 800Hz Start value = Stop value, so NanoVNA switch to CW mode PS use correct input |
Re: Where can I find the latest STM upgrade SW download for a NanoVNA-H4
Hi , some time ago , I solved the proble forcing the installation of the ST driver .
Go to location of you have installed the DfuseDemo programa like this on my PC C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\DfuSe v3.0.6\Bin\Driver\Win10 dpinst_amd64.exe dpinst_x86exe execute dpinst_amd64.exe if the system is 64 bit execute dpinst_x86exe if the system is 32 bit of course as administrator of the system : Best regards Maurizio IZ1MDJ |

That sounds great. Should I put the short cable on for calibration since it will be on for all testing that I have planned?Sent from my Galaxy Tab? S2

windows. It has been discussed in several prior message threads - search for dfu driver to find them. It is possible that the driver really did install, which you can check by continuing with the next steps in the document which check the driver installation. If not, likely you can fix it by continuing through the document, installing dfuse-demo, which also installs the driver. Then there is a section with details on troubleshooting the driver installation which you can work through. I remember having to do a couple of these steps on my system. Make sure for your system that you install the driver with a 64 in the name (not x86). If that doesn't work, search the messages as I noted above. A few users have found that they needed to use a third party utility to clean the driver installation before the new installation would work.

Good evening Stan,

I have had a UID and PW to STM for several years now and tried all this STM updating the NanoVNA-H4 at least a couple of years ago. I ultimately had a friend upgrade my Nano using his process that I did not understand. So now I am trying to do it myself again. So I did the download from STM out of the book you recommended to me successfully and chose to install the W8 64bit driver and it failed right off the bat. This seems like this was my major stumbling block back in time. I literally spent a week attempting to do this and had people telling me to read the book. Well I did this time and I got the same message. First, let's just install the driver, not the DfuSE DEMO software. The driver can be downloaded from the STM32 microcontroller manufacturer's website: When you click on ''Get Software'' the site will ask your e-mail address to send you an email with a download link. Click on the link inside the received e-mail to download zip file to your computer. Save the file en.stsw-stm32102.zip in a separate folder and unzip it. The unzipped file contains four drivers as in the Figure 51. The zip file contains drivers for Windows 7 and Windows 8, 32 and 64-bit. Win 8 drivers are OK for Win 10. NanoVNA should not be connected to a PC yet! To begin the installation, double-click the appropriate file, 32 or 64-bit. If you are installing on Windows 10, select W8 (32bits or 64bits) file. My system is a W10 64 bit system and I got the message #1626 that the driver failed to install. Any suggestions? Fred - N4CLA On Fri, Jun 17, 2022 at 6:50 PM Stan Dye <standye@...> wrote:

Well, I updated the firmware to the latest version I could find, and that was a joke. This thing is F;;;ed now. Can turn it on but I can¡¯t calibrate the touch and save it. I touch in the center of the screen and get the start screen for setting the Frequency. Can¡¯t open the menu with touch only with the button on top. Version 1.0.64 was the newest I could find. If there is a newer one could you point me to it. This is a DiSlord version that I found through the Absolute beginner PDF.

Typically when we say we are going to "verify a calibration", we just attach the 'open', 'short', and 'load' standards in turn, and look a the display to verify that they each show the correct values, which are a point a the far right of the Smith chart, a point at the far left, and a point in the center (respectively).

If you follow *exactly *the instructions in the latest version of the "Absolute Beginner's Guide" (available in the files section here in this group), you will have the correct STM software and drivers installed, and be able to install the firmware updates. If you have upgraded to Windows 11, these instructions have not been well-tested that I am aware of, but likely will still work. Note that the Dfuse-demo software is not really a 'demo', it is released software intended to demonstrate capabilities of the STM processors. And yes, the website notes that it is replaced by newer software, but still has it there for download. I understand the newer software may also work, but the instructions for its use are not as clear (unless someone else here can clarify for you).

Where can I find the latest STM upgrade SW download for a NanoVNA-H4
There have been many upgrade suggestions for the correct software to use when upgrading the NanoVNA-H4 and the instructions on how to use that code. I have not found anything that is supposed to be golden for the H4. It has all been see if this or that works. I would like to use the STM software. Is there a package there that is not a demo but the real thing and then I need the latest DFU file.
Thanks N4CLA - Fred |
