Re: host software for nanovna, for linux use

 

No problem, I was skimming through the messages quickly and missed it.?
Have a talk to Neb and see if he will share a copy of the reversed source to hugen's Sharp application for you to try and port to Linux if you're up to it.?

Python is an issue as the system is mint v17.3, so the current version of python is 2.7....

Before anyone says it, update to 3.7 would break the system is many nasty ways.
You may not as how I know as its ugly, glad I had backups!

I was hoping for native code not cross developed winders code with dependencies.

I'll keep looking or work with the code as it may be easy to deal with though slow.

The easy way was is grab the Touchstone files and I have (Openoffice) Calc tools
for them over the years.

Then rather than update it, just install multiple versions and call the one you need.
configure --prefix=
(something like /usr/lib64/python3.7 or whatever your system uses), then

make

and then

make altinstall

There is also the shim program pyenv which will allow for this sort of thing easily.

Re: host software for nanovna, for linux users.

 

Just a clarification: NanoVNA-Saver is not "cross-developed Windows code
with dependencies", but rather a pure Python program developed using a
(reasonably) modern version of the language. :-)

update from source, like I did, and unless you specifically call python3.7, you don't get it. I have 2.7, 3.5 and 3.7 installed.

Again, excellent tables !
Thank you.
One suggestion is you can reduce the outside margins in order to place more info on a sheet since most users will be looking at it on a display.

I built 3.7.5 from source, it was painless.

Re: host software for nanovna, for linux users.

 

You can always try running the windows exe in wine and let everyone know if it works - or not.

+1 on nanovna-saver. It's in the files section. You need python 3.7 for it tho.

I suggest taking a look at nanovna saver. It runs on/based on python and is almost platform independent

Answering the original question: The cable to search is "USB Type-C to USB-A 2.0 Male". Don't buy the cheapest ones. You don't need more expensive high speed 3.0 cables either.

Rune, I found a very good use for the permeability function today. I have a ferrite core samples kit from Amidon that I acquired years ago. Somehow the 4 BN61-202 devices had become mixed with the 4 BN73-202 devices and I needed to know which was which. I ran the permeability curves on one and the curves didn't cross below 30 MHz so I assumed it was 61 material. The next test curves crossed at about 4 MHz so I assumed it was 73 material. So I was able to separate the 61 material from the 73 material in nothing flat. Thanks very much for this very useful enhancement.


Re: Software for Android

 

Hi all

I have just got my unit and it works well but I am looking for the best software (for Ham Radio) to use on my Android phone and tablet?

I have nanoVNAPartner and nanovna-saver-v0.2.0 and was looking for something like this for my tablet.

What would be your suggestions please?

Thanks - 73

Les,

You could try:
