Re: Sun Shield?


 

I am thinking that, short of using a 3D printer to create a hood, a small box maybe twice the length and breadth of the nanoVNA that opens by the top lifting off, hinged at the back and with flaps that tuck into the sides of the box when closed would work if spray painted flat black. I think I might havevone of those lying around.

Nowadays the test equipment is smaller than the scope hood !

can make it hard to see the screen.

Any suggestions for making a sun shield? This weekend I grabbed a handy
piece of light cardboard and cut into pieces that I then taped together
to make a rectangular tube. It works sort of¡­I need a darker cardboard,
and it sometimes triggers the touch screen.

Anyone with experience or advice?
