There was a USB c issue with NanoVNA devices up to a few weeks ago When hugen added 2 additional resistors on the connector that tell a USB c host device what is being connected.?
This was discussed in the past few days.?
The original units did not have those resistors.?
To get around this, try using a USB c to usb cable and then back to USB c.?
Also search the forum for the message from hugen about the resistors and USB c sensing.?

? If I am reading the docs right, it can do a whole lot more.? Quite the
little gadget.
Just a couple of quick queries:
1)? The Android NanoVNA WebApp downloaded and installed nicely.? I
unwrapped a brand-new USB-C to USB-C cable (15cm long), plugged one end
into the Nano, the other into the phone with the Nano WebApp running,
and selected "connect" on the phone.? "No Device Found."? Same cable
works fine to connect two phones together to share a file.? (I tried
it.)? I guess I'm missing something, perhaps a setting on the NanoVNA
somewhere?? Being able to use a phone instead of a laptop or even a
tablet while hanging off a tower would be quite the nice thing.
Pointers, anyone?
2)? Any other Linux users out there?? What shows up in a cursory pass
through is basically just for Ubuntu.? (Sorry, I do NOT use Ubuntu
-anything.-? I consider it the WinBlows (WinSucks?) of Linux
distributions.? YMMV, of course.)? Even the github write-up has nothing
much besides downloading and using an install shell script (which link
takes you to other than a shell script download...) on the cloned git
repository.? With luck there will be enough Python stuff in the cloned
directory to get it compiled anyway; wish me luck.? That's another
project for a sleepless night in the near future.
So, I'm looking to find the proper and best Linux software to use.
Having just joined this list about an hour ago, I have not yet had a
chance to do a deep dive into the archives to see what has already been
posted.? That should happen tonight or tomorrow; replies in the form of
links to previous threads in the list would be appreciated, or new
thoughts if anyone has them.
Thanks in advance.
