Re: Red LED

 

A prior hardware rev of the H4 does flashing while charging, and steady-on
when fully charged (mine does that)

Re: Red LED

 

It could be that the charging source is pulsing (e.g. from an internal thermal limit perhaps). It's not like all USB power sources are fully compliant. Look at the huge design difference between legitimate Apple cube chargers and knockoffs.

Re: Red LED

 

I saw that, but it does not explain why this user appears to be seeing a different behavior . . . .

What is the trick on your website to get it to be in English. I selected English, but it still is in Hungarian or what ever the language is by default.

Re: Red LED

 

The spec sheet for the MCP73831 charge controller shown in the NanoVNA hardware diagrams that I find () only shows on and off states - no flashing, so all I can speculate is that your unit was built with a different component, or some additional circuitry. I have seen this device in other devices (smalL LCD scopes . . . ) and the "on for charge/off when complete" is also consistent there.

Other than that speculation, I've got nothing . . .

Mine NanoVNA-H4

First time I used it i did the charge before use. I was "Told" that when charging the red led will flash, and when fully charged, it will be a constant light. At least that is what I was "Told"

And that's how I have been using it from the first day. If I know I will need it, I will charge it first.

Connect to charge,,,
Light flashing,,,,,,,,,
ok steady light go and use it.

NOW,,? the thought of the light going out,? first question I have is OK what does flashing mean?

and two,, By accident, I connected it to get charged, and something came up and I was not able to do the test, and I forgot all about it being on the charger. Only to discover it like 4 days later with a solid red light on still.

I would think after 4 days of charging it would be done wouldn't you?

Nanovna-H4 / F - Very Large Font Firmware?

 

Hello,

Does anyone know if the jumbo font used in the latest 'H' firmware (for 2.8" devices) has made it into the 'H4' or 'F' firmware (for 4" display devices) - as of March 2022? See the attached image for reference

I've read through the firmware releases for H4 and F hardware variants but do not see any mention of a jumbo font being included.



There was talk of this in 2020 here: /g/nanovna-users/topic/74430800
And again in 2021 here:/g/nanovna-users/message/25619

Aware that there are 'AA' firmware versions available but these do not seem to use the Jumbo font shown.

Thanks.


Nanovna-H board upgrades

 

I have one of the older -H version 3.4
I was wondering if anyone has ever done a component-level upgrade of the board to the latest hardware version, or if a change log of sorts exists?

Re: What is nanoVNA-D??

 

Yes. The hardware is NanoVNA-H by Hugen, while the firmware is NanoVNA-D by Dislord, which is suitable for operating -H to -H4.

Software

 

This may be a dumb question but it seems I have an older version of nanovna
that has 0.8.0 version, that is the last version of EDY555. Can I jump to
another tree? or if there is a newer version could you point me in the
right direction?

What is nanoVNA-D??

 

Hi,

I am currently using DiSLords v1.0.69 on my nanoVNA H.

To keep up-to-date I looked around for the latest DiSlords software v1.1.00 and found the "NanoVNA.H.v1.1.00.dfu" file in the GitHub pages for "nanoVNA-D".
What is meaning of "-D" ???
Is this file suitable for my nanoVNA H???

For an inductor, Xl = j * omega * L
For a capacitor, Xc = 1 / (j * omega * C)

omega = 2 * pi * freq

Re: SOLVED - Question about Measurements in Smith.

 

Thank you very much to all.
Each one of you has made an interesting contribution for me.
Thanks again /EA7HJ - Antonio


Re: Question about Measurements in Smith.

 

Ditto. I really don't understand why the NANO's do not display real and
complex values for the impedance.

Jim, I just stick with basic units: Ohms, Hertz, Farads, and Henries.
Simply utilize the appropriate exponential notation and all is well in the
conversions.

But I'd still rather see the actual values in Ohms, be it real, +jX, or
-jX.

X = 2*pi*f*L

X = -1/(2*pi*f*C)

If L in nH and f in MHz, then X = 2E-3*pi*f(MHz) * L(nH)

if C in pF and f in MHz, then X = 1E6/(2*pi*f(MHz) * C(pF))
