Re: Frequency error SOLVED by FW thanks to DiSlord !
BINGO !

After upgrading with your DFU file, i enter 100MHz in "CW" mode and get 100.00010 MHz at the GPS locked frequency meter. 1 ppm instead of the initial -85.5 ppm ! Fine Job DiSlord and many thanks for your help and DFU file ! Best regards, Rudi Le 23.05.2020 ¨¤ 17:14, DiSlord a ¨¦crit?:

Re: I produced S-A-A V2.2

I suggest you launch a kit for those who bought and did not have a small display.

Re: Frequency error
After reading the option "01", seems that you dfu file should be written into target option "00" (internal flash 64 sectors).

A 2nd point: NanoVNA v0.8.4.6 Xtail 25997748.dfu is 82 Ko but the uploaded file from my NanoVNA is 129 Ko , is this ok ? Rudi Le 23.05.2020 ¨¤ 10:43, DiSlord a ¨¦crit?:
Try this firmware, just quick build vs XTALFREQ 25997748 |

I installed DfuSe, connected to the NanoVNA after "Reset and enter DFU" activated; on the DfuSe screen i have 2 Targets options: -1- 00 Internal Flash 64 sectors or -2- 01 Option Bytes??? 1 sector. What is the correct target ? Thank you for your help. Rudi Le 23.05.2020 ¨¤ 10:43, DiSlord a ¨¦crit?:

Re: Calibration issue causing ripples in SWR?

*1)* You've got a typo in your callsign: it should be KC1D*YK* (ROKBL!) *2)* In terms of verifying the fundamental measuring impedance of the nanoVNA, that's a lot trickier. The essence of most VNAs is that the VNA is approximately correct, but to take an accurate measurement the VNA is compared to a set of reference impedances (the SOL calibration). [The nanoVNA S_11 bridge can be seen in the circuit diagram (schematic) for whichever model of nanoVNA you are using.] *3)* Given that you are an M.Math, but I a mere subverter of otherwise pristine mathematics towards practical application (also known as Engineer), then you can probably imagine the system of matrices which make this more-or-less work. *4)* On a very practical note, the cost of a good calibration set can, for good reason, easily exceed the cost of the VNA itself, since nanoVNAs are so very cheap, but accuracy is demanding. *5)* I admire your experimenter's attitude of "Let's just measure it", which the nanoVNA readily allows one to do. The discrepancy that you've measured is one which, a few years ago, would simply have passed unnoticed, without access either to very expensive test gear, or to cheaper test gear that requires a slow manual process that few would undertake as a matter of course! *6)* There is also the question of the impedance of CH1, for S_21 measurements, but that's a rabbit hole for another day. *7)* In short, the measurements that one gets from the nanoVNA are only as good as the calibration references in use. Or if one prefers, the numerical results from a VNA directly come from the calibration set used for those measurements. The numbers *are* the calibration. [That's the essence of it.] HTH, 73, Stay Safe, Robin, G8DQX On 23/05/2020 04:39, ed@... wrote:
So it looks like these SWR ripples can be explained without any problem with the calibration or vna. However, if anyone has suggestions for verifying the output impedance of my nanovna, I'd still like to do it! |

Hi just spent a UK windy afternoon confined to my radio 'shack' , so decided to upgrade the screening on my 'basic' clone nanoVNA to see if the INPUT 'noise' could be reduced.
I made the screens out of some 'shim' brass foil and formed them round some srbp (Tufnol) formers THAT I made first. I am pleased with the improvement that just a couple of hours 'metal bashing' has produced. Hopefully this will inspire others to have a go? Dave |
Re: Frequency error
Thank you very much DiSlord for your help and work.

Re: Frequency error
30Hz in 100MHz.

That is just 0.00003% low in frequency. For the money we spent, why would anybody not be satisfied with that? I'm still happy with the accuracy of my Grid Dip Meter. 73, Alek, VK6APK. On 23/05/2020 6:13 pm, Aleksander Shalygin wrote:

For the moment, my friend has no access to the labo for component replacement (virus). I would try your XTALFREQU modification but i'm not able to modify and recompile your software. How can i proceed, may be with an other FW including the OFFSET command not active on my NanoVNA-H ? Thank you for helping me. Regards, Rudi Le 21.05.2020 ¨¤ 19:41, DiSlord a ¨¦crit?:
No it look like hardware problem (or measure frequency problem) |
Re: Oscillator 26MHz
After searching for this component numbering, i found nothing at LCSC.

I've done many frequency measurements and? had a great drift with temperature. May be it's not a TCXO but a XO with +/- 100 ppm tolerance ? Just an idea.. Regards, Rudi Le 21.05.2020 ¨¤ 12:23, hugen@... a ¨¦crit?:

Re: NanoVNA firmvare, compiled by DiSlord
#firmware
At this time code very dirty and contain a lot of debug and test info and i not add it to git (if need i can send code on mail), at this time it only of 'proof of concept'
SD card support need only ~8-9kB for FatFS vs long filenames (possible reduce size on 3kB if use old DOS format 8.3 names) RTC need additional 1kB (most of code for convert/user input output) Low level functions for init/read/write SD card need ~2kB FatFS need ~1.5kB of RAM (possible reduce to ~800bytes) 512 bytes for file directory search read bufferAt begin i try use another lib for filesystem support like PetitFS It size only ~2kB and need 600byte of Ram (512 read/write buffer can removed, but it huge reduce read/write speed all data need read every time), but have very limited create/write file support VinxFS - possible better, but i not test it So at this time need only ~12kB flash and 1.5kB Ram (i think possible also add this to NanoVNA - H it have ~14kB free flash and possible free ~1kB ram from spi buffer or use it) Possible not use filesystem and use direct sector read write, it huge reduce code size, but need add additional PC mode/soft for get data from it. Also not added USB support for use NanoVNA as card reader (USB still in Serial mode) Gyula Molnar search LCSC and I found some slot variants: XUNPU TF-115K and THD THD2528-11SD-GF Need search microSD?
