Billy,

I understand your frustration so I will help get you started.

The NanoVNA uses 2 drivers to communicate with the PC. One is when you want to exchange data with a terminal or application program like NanoVNA Saver. The second is when you want to update the firmware by loading a "DFU" file.

In this post I will only cover the first.

Windows 7 does not have the driver installed for exchanging data so you have to install it manually. The procedure to download it from ST is cumbersome and requires registration for some reason. So I have placed it on my Box clouid drive for you to easily download. Here is the link:



Once you have successfully downloaded it you need to unzip it and install the driver Win 7. There are 32 bit and 64 bit depending on what type of CPU you have in your PC. Do not plug in the NanoVNA until after you have installed the driver. When you plug in the NanoVNA after installation you will hear Windows "bing" and you will set it in the Device Manager as a COM port.

Next step is to install NanoVNA Saver. You will find it at this link.



Download the Windows 32 or 64 bit version, unzip and install. Then run it and patiently wait - it often takes 10 seconds or so to load because it is a Python program and it unpacking the support routines. Then in the bottom left hand corner it should show the COM port of the NanoVNA (Rescan if necessary). Click "Connect to Device" and it should plot in the graphs.

This will get you started. In the Wiki for this group and on Youtube there are tutorials on how to use NanoVNA Saver.

Larry,

downloaded, installed. I am running overtime, but wanted to get this far. I have to go now and will be out all day tomorrow. Finish getting this done on Wednesday. You do not know how much I appreciate you sticking with me. Sorry i was so dense. If you will, please look at the home page of httm://n5se.us. You might enjoy reading it.

30, Billy

Yes. Download the file that starts with stsw_.... As I mentioned earlier and follow the instructions in the beginner's guide for installation.

Thank you Dragan. I think it would be unwise to buy from a China seller now. It would take weeks if at all, arriving. It might even ROT sitting on a cargo ship outside California.

The line in the wiki that's says wait for 10 seconds has a clickable link in it please look at it again.The M was a typo. Click on the word: utility? ?in that sentence.?

These results are clickable, so click on them and go right back to the WIKI page I was on.? So I try other searches. Same circle results; like a merry-go-round.

On your message, you say :

There is a link to a google drive with the drivers as well as the DeFuse utility. Download the file beginning with STSW... and install the software." I cannot find any of this or anything like it. What does the Capital M mean?

Just searching with FireFox (not in the WIKI)? I found several references to put the nanovna into DFU Mode. So far, I have not found a single reference that shows how to put a nanovna into the DFU mode (what ever that is).

So sorry I am so ignorant, but all of this seems so unorganized and piecemeal. Is there a URL and exact name for each thing I need to download?

OK, I understand but you still have not answered one question: Can you talk to your H4 through Terraterm or putty?
Please install this version of firmware for your H4:
/g/nanovna-users/files/Dislord%27s%20Nanovna%20-H%20Firmware/NanoVNA%20v1.0.69%20fw%20pack.zip
Unzip and ONLY use the _H4_ DFU file.
Verify you can talk to the command console through a terminal program on your PC before trying to use any of the Nano PC apps.

If not, you need to troubleshoot that first.

I started this topic and I said I have a Nanovna-H4. W10 64 bits
All this does not happen with the original firmware v0.5.0.
I do the tests that you tell me and I answer.
Thanks /Antonio EA7HJ
