Re: V2 Design
#nanovna-v2
NanoVNA saver basically behaves identical when controlling V1 or V2. At least during a short test
Tapr-VNA also behaves identical The Xana derived SW works well and has to be used if you want to upgrade the firmware without ST-Link or similar. -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home NanoVNA Files: /g/nanovna-users/files Erik, PD0EK |

edy555, the original NanoVNA designer, quietly shared a photo of his NanoVNA2 PCB on Twitter without any additional details (see attachment).

Re: V2 Design
#nanovna-v2
There are three options.
The V2 comes with its own PC SW derived from the Xana vna. Next the best known option is nanoVNA saver as it was extended to be able to control the V2 And I have made Tapr-VNA also V2 compatible -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home NanoVNA Files: /g/nanovna-users/files Erik, PD0EK |

If a remember correctly the BOM cost is $10.

I suspect that most people would gladly pay a few bucks more for a full package. Sourcing batteries from China is a hassle (shipping restrictions) and finding a reliable source for good quality adapters and cables is a gamble. So far 80% of the cables or connectors that I ordered on AliExpress were junk or fake. With time, when others start to manufacture clones, they will be forced to provide a full kit at the same price point. On Sat, 7 Mar 2020 at 17:17, Larry Rothman <nlroth@...> wrote:

Looks great, Erik.
Thanks for sharing.? It's unfortunate that people would rather complain than read the designer's posts about attempting to meet a certain price point.? This release is a great starting point for early adopters and it can only get better.

Our next Reddit Net on Brandmeister TG 98003 is going to be about the NanoVNA.
Full info here: I'm sure we will have some complicated questions so it would be cool if some experts showed up. Hope to see you there! -- KV0A - Robert |

Hi Kurt,
I purchased the battery from a local market. Have a look. The Tindie seller hasnt shipped the package yet. Meanwhile I shall keep all things ready. -- Salil Tembe (Nuclearrambo.com) |

Hi Salil
Found one, however LiPo but I believe is will work as well as Li-ion -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Salil Tembe Sendt: 6. marts 2020 18:52 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [nanovna-users] V2 Design #NanoVNA-V2 Its available on Tindie.

Hi Salil
I ordered one too, and are now searching for a Li-ion battery 1000-2000mAh max dimension 6x40x60mm preferably with JST-XH 2.54mm connector. Have you found any ?

Re: Wireless control of NanoVNA
Hi,
I tried rasberry zero wh with nanovna. No succes. I use Raspbian. Graphical user interface very slow, without nanovna. I try command line only mode and rtl_sdr tcp server. Extreme slow, simply not usable, I am disappointed. I try RPI to configure wifi ap mode + ser2net. Not easy way, no succes too. Hard very long manuals, with some not working commands. See next email, I switch to Android with good succes. 73, Lajos =============================== Lajos, The RPi Zero WH is the lowest powered, smallest memory unit in the range. 512 MB, single-core. If using a graphical interface, I would suggest the 3B+ or 4 as a much more suitable RPi. I have also had problems with ser2net and similar software. 73, David GM8ARV -- SatSignal Software - Quality software for you Web: Email: david-taylor@... Twitter: @gm8arv |

============================ More sweep points, excellent! Greater frequency range, good but why no 10 kHz? However, low cost has meant some sacrifices: - small display, despite many requests that it be larger. - no box, the unit is naked and rather delicate. - micro USB rather than USB-C, so incompatible with all the other units. - no battery! - no SMA cables. I would be very interested in a unit covering past 2.5 GHz, but for these reasons, I'll wait on a more complete unit.

Re: Measuring Nano Inductance
Sadly, after I installed it, all I get is a badly twitching display. Can you tell who to turn to for fixing that ?

Re: Measuring Nano Inductance
WOW !!!!! Thanks Roger. What a wonderful program !!! Never heard of it.

One is R+jX which will give you the Resistance (which will rise with frequency due to the skin effect) and X-Reactance. The other one to select is a display of Inductance vs Frequency which does the conversion from reactance to inductance for you. For a 100 nH inductor you are probably using an air wound coil so you won't see that much change in inductance with frequency. However, inductors made with toroids will because the permeability of the core goes down with frequency. Roger |
