Does TinySA write to a file..?
TinySA Team, Quick question...I have things running now on my modified Arduino Nano and the Windows TinySA application spectrum display came up REALLY nice at the beginning, but I went to change

I don't yet have working hardware, so can't verify your results. I assume the blue line represents both PGA and LNA gain. And that the single step down and back up near the middle represents the LNA

Dave, can you send me the code snd any schematics you are using. Glenn and I are working on an ESP32 version. He's developing a PCB or more likely two.? Email is good on QRZ . -- John P. WA2FZW

Hi John P, good to meet you again.? We met before when you were developing the antenna analyser project. I have the TinySA working with the ESP32 and the excellent TFT-eSPI library, but with an older

I have been away, and will be the rest of the week, so no time to play, however last night I did add back in the matching components for the SAW filter.? It eventually dawned on me that a highly

Re: Panadapter
#tinysa
Apart from using the output of the mixer there is no other place to tap any signal. The RX SI4432 is self contained and apart from the RSSI it can only output digital decoded signals of a limited set

Re: my schematic diagram
It performs remarkably well, simple as it is. I may be getting carried away, but if fabbing a board for it I would be inclined to put down another dollar's worth of parts if that improves performance

Re: my schematic diagram
Jerry, I totally agree with the shield and the clean power supply. That's why I'm trying to get to a PCB, but now I'm struggling to figure out how to connect the pins to the Blue pill after Joerg's

Re: my schematic diagram
Yeah that MMIC is a smart move, but I would also make it possible to switch it in and out because it will increase the noise floor. Diode blocking is a simple/great way to do that. Dr. William J.

There are two main variants. Parallel, with 8 pin connector, and serial, with 5 pin connector. Both will work but require different connections to mcu -- HBTE Files section:

Re: my schematic diagram
Guys I did test al kind of attenuators before and after the mixer and all kind of amplifiers in various places. The SI4432 has it's limitations and without any amplifier or attenuator you get decent

Re: my schematic diagram
I have one objection to those recommendations from Minicircuits: Our IF port is operating at 434mhz. Our RF port is operating from 0 to 250mhz. We need to use the port capable of low frequencies at

Re: my schematic diagram
Great care must be taken with what the mixer is fed as it produces the most artifacts in the entire chain. Rather a small dynamic than extra signals. Here's what Minicircuits says: 1) Most

Re: my schematic diagram
Gary, Did you ever look further into why you had excessive background noise when running the Nano at 3.3v? The Nano is digital, it either works or it don't. If it don't, it will generally run off the
