Re: Android app cable not working!
Joerg, thank you maybe that is the "simple thing" preventing this?
Would this otg adapter cable suffice, do you think?

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.

Sharing a common ground and being bonded together are two, different, things. In circuit layout it is not uncommon to keep the ground in several circuit sections separate until they are brought together at a single point. This helps to eliminate ground loops within the circuit. - Ed

Re: Anyone had news from Maggie King?
I ordered a Hugen Nanovna H4 on 25 Jan and received a note, same date, from Maggie that is would be shipped after Feb 4.
Next received an SMS on 18 Feb and it arrived yesterday (Sydney, Australia).
It powers up but I won't have a chance to test it until next week.

Re: Android app cable not working!
Yes, pins 4 & 5 are shorted on the micro USB to tell the phone or tablet to switch to host mode and supply 5V output.

Re: Android app cable not working!
I just tested it successfully with a Galaxy S9 running Android 10 and the NanoVNA WebApp.
After you have connected the NanoVNA via USB OTG and the cable, that came with the NanoVNA, just start the App.
You will get a question, that needs to be confirmed.
Please see on the other picture the connections.

Re: Wireless control of NanoVNA
Hi,
I have succes with nanovna and wifi. But have problems. I have old wifi router, TP-LINK MR-3220 V1.2. Firmware changed to Openwrt 17.01.7. USB ACM kernel module installed too. Ser2net packages installed to router. Currently maually add rights to /dev/ttyACM0, I not know why not work automatically.
Nanovna-saver not see the COM port on windows, but manually entered and now works. Now cable less nanovna working with nanovna saver.
I like the wireless vna-s. No cable = no big loss, no common mode current problem, etc.
Not nanovna, but the trick:

Re: Wireless control of NanoVNA
Hi,
Not easy way the multiple 1/2 lambda cut cables. If cable long, the loss is big problem on high frequency. The 1/2 lambda works good only one fixed frequency and short, precisely cutted 1/2 lambda cables on SWR meter. OSLT calibration may help. My method with wifi capable instrument, short coax cable 1/2 lamda on 145 mhz and 3 * 1/2 lambda on 435 mhz + cable end osl calibration. Zero lengh coax bad idea, the instrument part of the antenne.

BEGS the question what does "precision" mean.
Also would be awesome if someone who had one of these "precision" cal kits could gather some data on them on a lab VNA/ENA using a HP etc cal kit. That way you know exactly what you are getting.

Please refer to my last version of the Console Command guide (Dec 2019) - it has information on QRP's scanraw command and is in the files section of the forum.

I still have "extra" 1N4148WS diodes available. I had ordered 100 diodes from Amazon and have many left over.
If you want any, FOR FREE IN THE USA, send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and how many diodes you need. Email me for my mailing address.

=========================================================================
I may have misunderstood your original message. I thought you wanted to get the "magnitude, phase". Which can be derived from the complex data:
# data 0 & data 1 are complex (i.e. 0.365322053 -0.903783857) 101 points.
# Example of splitting complex data into real and imag:
# splitdata = s11Array.split(',')
# converteddata = np.array(splitdata)
# converteddata = converteddata.astype(np.float)
# real = converteddata[: : 2]
# imag = converteddata[1 : : 2]
From there the magnitude and phase can be derived from the converted real and imag data.
You may be looking for the gamma values. Per the console commands document in the files section:
sample command
- Samples gamma ¨C (used for NanoVNA debugging)
I don't know the format for using the sample command as I have never needed to get that close to the actual raw voltage values.
