Audio is exactly as nanovna. 3 mixers and stereo ADC. Switching witch manual switch for now

Hej Bo :-)

I think for now I'm going to stick to accepting correctly formatted
S-parameter files. I have made the development version accept the RFsim
files, but as this revealed a large number of bugs, I'm going to hold off
on working on the Elsie ones for a few days. The problem occurred once
*perfect* data was loaded, for example including readings that had exactly
0 real resistance leading to divide-by-zero when calculating Q.

Tooltips are an interesting enhancement, but given the development pace at
the moment, they're a luxury for a later time. ;-)

I'll consider improving the units on the charts. Someone elsewhere (I'll
get to them) suggested allowing decimal limits on the charts as well, which
will also need to be implemented, so maybe along with that.

Thanks for your continuing feedback :-)

Hi Dave,
I might make an option to have the traces be wider - I recommend selecting
a high contrast colour for now. :-)

Thanks for the feedback!

Some ten years ago I took some Chinese lessons with a native speaker living in Denmark. She told us that there are different kind of copies being made. There is the "Original" which is copied 1:1 into an "A copy". This one is then subject to minor mods and cost optimization resulting in a "B copy". Again this "B copy" is then subject to further mods which becomes a "C copy" and so on for many levels of copying. I.e. from the "B copy" and onwards the quality is going from relaxed to dubious.

I tried cho45's web app the other day. It looks great but it wouldn't work
at all on an elderly Lenovo tablet. It worked but in a very glitchy manner
on a Huawei M5 tablet, which resulted in large out of range excursions on
the charts. Looks like the NanoVNA's data isn't being read reliably.

The serial option seemed a little more stable but its still quite tricky
getting an uncorrupted screenshot.

Is anyone else having better success?

I couldn't resist. I ordered this one if for nothing else, for spare parts. What will things be like a year from now?

Then again, those may be the "Rejects" !!

Hej Rune

Here are some more ideas.

Loading (importing) S-files. Try to identify the source program, but also show the first five, or a bit more, lines of the file. Then ask the the user to confirm the source program/format from a number of radio buttons.

Adding tooltips can perhaps improve the usage/understanding of the various buttons and input fields.

To the right of the sweeps write the Hz/div. and dB/div.

I rolled the dice, now we wait...

To use the Nano, it is no problem that the IP5303 switches off after 35 seconds when switching off. For a battery pack with a low consumption device connected, that is something else.
The problem that I often hear is that the IP5303 does not switch on, with a consumption higher than 45 mA. I have already replaced and restored just about everything around the IP5303, but that doesn't help. The normal functions continue to work, only the start-up does not work.
The only solution is to start the IP5303 via the key pin 5 with a push button. This is only a partial solution, because after connecting the USB cable it no longer works.
After several days of measuring and testing, and 2x replacing an IP5303, I finally found a deviation. All measurements of the NanoVNA power consumption described here are actually wrong. You will not find any deviations.
However, if you are going to measure the power consumption of the IP5303 yourself, we will notice weird deviations.
The third day I planned to do only current measurements on the IP5306 and its components.
Like 'tinhead' suggested to place a resistor on C47, instead of a resistor I made a print with 4 lamps 6V / 60mA, and a 4-pole DIP switch.
This way I could switch the load per 60 mA on and off to observe the behavior of the IP5306.
Since the NanoVNA does not participate this time, the current must be measured at the 3.70V battery and not at the ON / OFF switch.
These prior measurements gave strange results:
Current measurement of the IP5303 in standby mode (32 sec): 2.70 mA
Current measurement of the NanoVNA, including the IP5303: 237mA!
Current measurement of the NanoVNA, minus the IP5303: 130mA.
Conclusion: the IP5303 has (too) high self-consumption.
I discovered that the IP5303 only worked well up to 222 mA. In addition, the IP5303 goes into a kind of protection mode, and switches off completely after about 10 seconds.
The following measurements are with my own load (lamps), without the Nano switched on.
With my external load I can therefore switch on 1,2,3 or 4 lamps.
1 lamp = 60 mA, 2 lamps = 120 mA, 3 lamps = 180 mA, 4 lamps = 240 mA.
With the standard inductor of 2.2 ?H (1 ?H also works, but the oscillator frequency is higher) and a load with:
1 lamp: current was 90.0 mA -> 30 mA too much
2 lights: current was 185 mA -> 65 mA too much!
3 lights: current was 276 mA -> 36 mA too much!
The load with 4 lamps did not want to start anymore.
This is really too much for the small Li-ion battery.
Strange is that the IP5303 with my own load did not fail, with the NanoVNA switched on it did fail.
So the ultimate consequence is that the NanoVNA does not want to start up, because it itself already needs 130 mA.
I did the same measurements again with a lab power supply connected instead of the battery, but the measurements were not much different.
The question is why the IP5303 does not meet its specifications.
There are probably some IPs that do not work well in some NanoVNAs.
Or some NanoVNAs have a slightly lower power consumption. I replaced the IP5303 twice, I was not lucky twice.
I'm still going to try with an IP5306, which could handle a slightly higher steam. But they still have to be ordered.

Probably the same seller as I posted since the write-up and pictures are identical.

I was hoping somebody would ask!
The bridge is simetrical. Just in your mind rotate it 90 degrees. I discovered using it this way improved directivity above 2 GHz

Any way you cut it, this is for gamblers... :-)

No, he still has them for sale - and a number of other things.? He has sold 130 NanoVNAs.? Now there is another Hong Kong seller selling them for $16.99.? That, in my mind, makes it less likely that the low price was a listing error and more likely it is a scam.? We buyers will get our money back if it is a scam? - eBay or Paypal will get stuck.? The log delivery time of 4-6 weeks means we won't know until mid- Nov.
Or, they might be dumping inventory to get liquidity.? Perhaps having something to do with the unrest?

Accounts do tend to get hijacked at the weekend, as legit sellers often not
working then.
