NanoVNA and PC.
I am a rookie in Nanovna but not in electronic and computer skills. I am 45 years old radioamateur.
My problem is that my NanoVNA-H4 with original firmware of 20200221 works perfectly with all PC applications, but when I update it with the latest Dislord Nanovna-H4_20211121 firmware, it stops working with PC programs. I'm using W-10 64 Bits. It is normal?. Any solution?. Up to what version can I go up without losing that possibility? Very grateful in advance. Antonio - EA7HJ |
I have DiSlord's latest FW in my H and it is working fine with PC software.

Can you talk to your H4 console using a terminal program? I use TeraTerm for that. If you can talk using a console application, you may have an issue elsewhere. On Thursday, December 2, 2021, 10:51:25 a.m. EST, A. via groups.io <ea7hj@...> wrote:

I check NanoVNA Sharp MOD v3
/g/nanovna-users/message/5406 This very old software, and can work if on device selected 101 points (STIMULUS->SWEEP POINTS->101) This problem also related to NanoVNAPartner, need set 101 point (all old software hardware coded and use 101 points) |

Thank you for answering DiSlord. The programs that I try to use are Nanovna, Nanovna-APP, Nanovna-Saver and Nanovna-Sharp. All work with the original firmware v0.5.0 20200221 but the aforementioned programs are not connected with the last version DiSlord 20211121 that is the only one I have tried, at 101 points (either at 401 points). But Yes, it connects perfectly with the DfuSeDemo. I do not report a problem, but a question in case someone knew the solution to my situation. By the way, fantastic the latest firmware version. Thanks to Lot. Regards |
Where did you find this firmware? I can't seem to find that version
(20211121) anywhere. 73, Zack W9SZ On Thu, Dec 2, 2021 at 9:51 AM A. via groups.io <ea7hj@...> wrote: I am a rookie in Nanovna but not in electronic and computer skills. I am |
Having your device connect with DefuseDemo when it is in DFU mode is not the same as in normal running mode - there are 2 different drivers.

Before going any further - Verify when you connect your running device to the PC that it comes up as a comm port and connect to that comm port using the terminal program. On Thursday, December 2, 2021, 11:58:02 a.m. EST, A. via groups.io <ea7hj@...> wrote:

In the absence of solutions I have returned to the original Firmware. With it I can manage my NanoVNA from the PC with the usual software (NanoVNA-App, NanoVNA-Sharp, NanoVNA-Server).
Too bad not being able to enjoy the 401 points and manage it at the same time from the PC. Thank you all. Antonio - EA7HJ |
Does this Hugen releasae include the enhancements DiSlord released earlier today as DiSlord v1.1 beta 1?

DiSlord Update to v1.1 beta 1: - Init i2c bus devices on low speed, change on max speed after (i hope this allow fix problem vs hang on first power on) - 2x increase wait time for SD carf (also hope this fix errors on old slow cards) - Add backup feature, this allow save some settings (freq range / points count / jog step / leveler mode / bandwidth / last used slot) Backup restore settings only for stored on flash slot (not work for RAM calibration data) By default loaded 0 slot (if no backup enabled / on error / no battery) - Small ui changes Divide Expert settings on 2 screens Added Remember State (enable/disable backup feature) checkbox (need save config after for apply) Mike N2MS On 12/11/2021 2:43 PM Byron Johnson <magpiper@...> wrote: |

Thanks for the clarification. Mike N2MS On 12/11/2021 8:24 PM Hugen <hugen@...> wrote: |
I have updated V1.1 the firmware, but I still can not use the software such as Nanovna, Nanovna-APP, Nanovna-Saver, Nanovna-Sharp and view the PC on-screen curves.
Can someone connect to the PC with the aforementioned software?. The nanovna-app even update the firmware perfectly, however to see curves does not connect with the device. I have also tested with the Zadig driver and does not connect either. Any help about it? Thanks in advance. Antonio - EA7HJ |

you have not said what model of Nano you have. Are you able to talk to the Nano through a termial program like Teraterm or Putty when it is connected to the PC? If not, you need to troubleshoot that first. On Monday, December 13, 2021, 08:32:18 a.m. EST, Antonio (EA7HJ) via groups.io <ea7hj@...> wrote:

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.

Hi
Thank you, Larry Rothman for your help. I'm sorry, but after trying everything, I give up. 1) installed the firmware version that you indicate to me (V1.0.69), also v1.0.71 and V1.1. 2) Uninstalling all software and controllers on the PC. 3) I make a clean installation of VCP_V1.5.0_SETUP_W8_X64_64BITS.EXE and DFUSE_DEMO_V3.0.6_SETUP.EXE. 4) Terratem installation. (The nanovna is connected and disconnected from the terminal, as well as Teraterm perfectly recognizes the serial port with the installed driver STMicroelectronic). 5) Nanovna-App works in DFU mode, he installed the different firmware, but it does not recognize the Nanovna in serial port mode. 6) Back to original firmware V.0.5.0 and everything returns to normal. So far my experience. I hope that one day you see the light. LOL I am very grateful for your help. Antonio - EA7HJ. |
Wow - that is really strange that your unit works with old FW but not the newer FW.

My last suggestion is to try to remove all references to the STM drivers and use USBDview to reset the USB devices associated with the STM drivers, then reboot and re-install. It's stuff like this is why I got out of being a SysAdmin and went back into electronics ;-) Maybe another forum member can help you with this going forward....... Good luck!
