Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

NanoVNA-App allow select receive calibrated and not calibrated data

H/H4 devices by default send calibrated data (this mode for old software)
V2/Lite by default send not calibrated data

Not shure, but Saver receive data in default mode

I thought that but wanted to be sure, thanks!


Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

it does not mess up cause in the app only apps calibration is used and in the device only devices calib is used

they do not interact cause the device (even if calibrated) sends raw data over usb

Also, is it best to not calibrate the nanovna itself and just have the raw data out because a person would be using the nanovna.app to calibrate? I would assume if you calibrate the nanvna AND the nanovna.app that would mess up the calibrations?

Yes you are right, I haven't heard anything back on the other forum after i posted my question :(

Why not try and share your learnings?

With all the nanovna.app version mod by other people, is there a website that tells what is the difference in them?

Thanks

I think this hardware LCD module problem, my LCD on V2Plus4 also have artefacts on screenshots, i replace module, and after this all ok. I can`t solve this by software (i think use different LCD driver, and i don`t know how init it).
This module on other device also have this problems.

Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

I had no problem flashing the current DiSlord firmware (v1.3.07, see attached screenshot) onto my V2Plus4 (from the first series of devices sold by nanoRFW) using NanoVNA-App v1.1.209 (build by Owen Duffy). However, I have noticed that coloured screenshots taken with the NanoVNA-App look strange (see attached screenshot).

Hello Everyone,

talk with nanovna saver or may be with some python program?
This VNA product has its own PC program and they have not published their communication protocol. So it does not work directly with NanoVNA Saver or NanoVNA app. You would have to "sniff" the USB exchange in order to reverse engineer the communications protocol.

However it does export industry standard s1p and s2p Touchstone files. You can import these into NanoVNA Saver or NanoVNA app and use the graphing options in these programs.

Have you considered using another VNA that has better support like the LiteVNA64 or one of the V2 type products?

Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

You want a Linux compatible way to calibration from raw data?
You might look at SciKit-RF - a python package that does all the needed calculations, as well as drawing plots/smith charts, etc.


An example of calibration:

some sample code attached below where I'm experimenting with measuring a cable and then using it to extend the reference plane to the end of the cable.

My fork for this App:

Autor write it on C++ Builder (Use free Embarcadero? C++Builder)
This allow compile application on different platform (Windows, Android, iOS, macOS §Ú Linux) Need use not free RAD Studio


Re: Arinst VNA-DL1-8800 MHz VNA #docs #general

 

Khalid,
Unless the manufacturer has claimed this device uses a command structure that is compatible with the NanoVNA & LiteVNA series, you will have to write your own interface routines in NanoSaver.
But - the manufacturer needs to have published the interface command structure (API) in a similar way that the NanoVNA and LiteVNA commands have been published.

Good luck.

Nick,
Nanovna-App is opensource and available on github:


Feel free to port it over to Linux - if you dare.....;-)

Ok I am going to give it a try I will flash using nanovna.app (I won't be able to save what I got on the unit now) your firmware that was post a few messages back, and I will use your modded software hopefully then the nanovna.app will work! If not or if I need my display to work, I will re-flash (enter DFU mode using the button way cause the display won't work) with the newest firmware version that is listed on the website.

This is the plan!

Thanks so very much for the help!

ohh i am waiting to hear back about this problem on the other forum just a fyi.


Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

On LiteVNA (or V2 modded by SD card + my fw) possible dump firmware to card from Expert Settings.
For V2Plus4 only if use ST-link.

After hold button and power on, you see only black screen, but on NanoVNA-App or QT connect to device it ask about flash firmware.
After complete possible need power off and power on device.


Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

GMRS_two_way_radio
 

Yes I found it in the menu, and when doing the hold right button the display won't say DFU mode just a white blank screen correct?

I won't be doing the ST-link programmer way :( I was hoping there was a way with just software like is done when flashing

I can use the nanovna.app for flashing, correct?


Re: NanoVNA App - Installation and Use #applications

 

You found menu 'enter in DFU mode' on V2Plus4 device? Or no?
For enter in Bootload mode (used in device CPU not have DFU mode, it use bootloader) need hold right button (if connectors up) and power on device

PS be careful on use ST-Link programmer for write firmware (use only QT or NanoVNA-App), at start adress written bootloader, this boodloader use CPU unique ID for run, and if damage it you brick device.
