Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing


 

H Jerry -

Thanks for taking time to provide actionable feedback.
As it happens, I mostly stopped making Wiki updates
when I stopped downloading firmware updates.

Unless you already know pretty much everything, the forum wiki
creates more questions than it answers:
/g/nanovna-users/wiki
.. so, it should be deleted or pruned, to avoid wasting folks' time?

For example, exactly what are the differences between the edy555 nanoVNA,
the Hugen nanoVNA, the Hugen nanoVNA-H, and the Hugen nanoVNA-H4?
Owning only an early worst clone, >>I<< am not in a position to make definitive comparisons,
beyond /g/nanovna-users/wiki#Hardware-versions

Here's a start, the wiki should have this and much more:
/g/nanovna-users/topic/65362239
Not sure what part of that nanoVNA-Q discussion wants adding to the Wiki,
but you are more than welcome to edit the Wiki, based on your experience.

Wiki also needs information for the new user who has just unboxed a nanoVNA.
I was totally stumped last year till I found this:

/g/nanovna-users/topic/65362239
The current wiki is not any better in that regard.
My efforts, at least, were not intended to replace work such as that at hexandflex.com,
which are in fact linked in the Wiki under User Guides.
Again, if updates are wanted based on your experience, please feel free.
I think that every group member has edit permission.

Here's a very old thread, at least some of which had to do with creating
a tutorial to get the new user going:
/g/nanovna-users/topic/34589622
Despite being implicated in that thread, I am unsure how to refactor it
to a new user tutorial that would be an improvement over those listed in User Guides:
/g/nanovna-users/wiki/12475
and Application Notes:
/g/nanovna-users/wiki/13116

Lots of current discussion in the forum about the highly regarded
work of DiSlord and OneOfEleven, should I consider moving to that instead?
Only my opinion, but without access to source code
and structured testing of those beta firmwares,
I do not recommend them for new users
unless they provide some needed function[s] unavailable from Hugen and edy555 releases.
