If, when the unit is running on battery only, the activity LED is flashing, check the LCD cable.
If the LED is not flashing - you've got other hardware or firmware problems.
Since there are a number of manufacturers of the original Nanovna, and the quality varies, you'll have to go slow and eliminate each area.
Good luck.

Could have your DFU file DiSlord to use and fix the problem with ?
It's not a bug, just a small limit I have placed on the DFU file format, I can modify to allow more DFU types.
What did you use to compile to the DFU file with I wonder ?

Apparently, I made a big mistake.? I let the Eclipse run and run.? It now has all
project boards known to man in it.? When I did a clean then build all, it took more than
half an hour.
I kept seeing the boards coming across on the Console, like F103Dicovery, then Olimex, then Nucleo, etc.
Perhaps 100's of them.
I guess I have to figure out how to select one project board only...
It apparently, now, compiled almost all of them without errors. I will have to search the hard drive for
the files...

If you bought it on eBay, you need to open a refund complaint with eBay support and send this unit back to get a refund.
It sounds like you were sent a faulty unit - ebay is very good at keeping its vendors honest.
Aside from that, if you see the activity LED flashing (not the charge LED) when the display is white, it's most likely a display issue.
If you're VERY careful, you can pop the LCD out of its frame and touch up the solder on its ribbon cable.

Using an Ubuntu 18.04, here are the instructions in order to have a build from the excellent work of DiSlord
=======================================================================================
wget
sudo tar xfj gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2018-q4-major-linux.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local
PATH=/usr/local/gcc-arm-none-eabi-8-2018-q4-major/bin:$PATH
git clone --single-branch --branch H4
cd NanoVNA
git submodule update --init --recursive
make
===================================================================
After that, successful build output files reside in NanoVNA/build folder.
Hope these help you guys.
This is the method I use and it works and builds ok for me here.
73,
Christos SV1EIA

I've finished off the firmware upload code but I canonly test on my little NanoVNA-H (STM32F072 MCU), I can't test on the H4, so proceed with caution.
If you try it and it fails then do let me know, and also make sure you have an ST-Link of some sorts to hand to recover your VNA.

Re: NanoVNA-Saver on Linux OpenSuSE Leap 15.2
In addition to the packages mentioned below, it is also necessary to install opt-python38-setuptools from the OpenSuSE site. Then pip can do its magic.

I discovered that I can install opt-python38 and opt-python38-pip from a community repository here:
Which installs Pyhton 3.8 into /opt. Then as root I executed the following:
export PYTHONHOME=/opt/python
cd /opt/python/bin
./python3.8 -m pip install <nanovnasaver download directory>
and pip figured out which other packages were needed and downloaded and installed them and NanoVNASaver into /opt/python.
Then I added /opt/python/bin to the PATH in /etc/profile and now as a regular user I can type NanoVNASaver into a console to start it.

Agree, also have problems with CHibiOS compiling in STM32CubeIDE 1.3.1

You forgot update git submodules

Hello,

This freshly calibrated (OSL) with stock coax and load. Latest fw from github. Your little VNA-H looks good, imho..

Re: NanoVNA-Saver on Linux OpenSuSE Leap 15.2
Yes, you can install more than one OS - just re-partition your drive or install on different drives if you can.
GRUB will be updated accordingly.

It should work as "dual boot ", right?
I was trying python for last two weeks and the "latest" version I used was 3.8
Now I see there is 3.9 .
How often "they" change python versions?
BTW - I was looking for easy way to do GUI and found out that python relies of Qt? for building? "widgets".
So I am now? looking at Qt Creator.

To get an impression of the usability it is useful to look at the phase of an open S11 i.s.o the magnitude of the noise Often at higher frequencies the magnitude is determined by various harmonic products created inside the SA612 As soon as the phase loses correlation while there still seems to be magnitude you know you are in trouble -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/homeNanoVNA Files: /g/nanovna-users/filesErik, PD0EK
