Re: Notes on running NanoVNA-Saver on Linux #nanovna-saver

 

Thanks for the notes on the Python VM and getting nanoVNA-Saver to run on
Linux.
I just installed Linux Mint 20 (which is totally different from Ubuntu)
and revisited the Python VM instructions from Nick G3VNC.
I found I could make those instructions work if I replaced every mention of
"python3.7"
with the words "python3.8", I get lost every time I try to do it the
second time or just the next day.
And I have never gotten the shortcut script to work to make it quicker,
WELL your version is easy to read, I may have a chance, SO thank you very
much!
I will try and give it a try.

Vaclav,

I dropped some notes in the file section of this group, at
/g/nanovna-users/files/Nano%20VNA%20Saver. The file is
*nanoVNA-H4 software support under Ubuntu.pdf*
(
/g/nanovna-users/files/Nano%20VNA%20Saver/nanoVNA-H4%20software%20support%20under%20Ubuntu.pdf
).

The approach described works with a nanoVNA-H4, and hopefully a
nanoVNA-H. Essentially, a Python VM (virtual machine) is set up so that
NanoVNA-Saver runs in its own isolated Python environment, avoiding
interference to/from the rest of the Python needed to keep the OS
running sweetly. A script is used to enter the Python VM, and then to
exit the VM after NanoVNA-Saver itself exits. Then all is well.

HTH, 73, Stay Safe,

Robin, G8DQX

PS: It took me a while to find the answers, and one learnt about Python
VMs.

And I'm sorry if any messages seem strange. Use electronic translator.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

 

I tested it now and realized that the clock stops working when turned off.
I use crystal so that the time is always updated even with the nanoVNA off.
Take it easy, do it when possible and thank you for your work.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

 

Screenprint (problem), S1P and S2P ok for me.

Try this one, don't let go of touching the bottom of the screen until it shows
a message on screen, it should be work 100% of the time ..
Thank you for your work. I will test now !!


Firmware for NanoVNA H4 with L/C Match?

 

Has anyone compiled a version of firmware for the VNA H4 that has the L/C Match built in?

Thanks,

Vaclav,

it sounds as if you need a local mentor to help you with Linux.

For the terminal, you may find this helpful:

Good luck, HTH, Stay Safe,

Robin, I am still learning how to navigate this group.
Perhaps some day I figure out what "messages" are for ,besides a "pointer" to other resource.
Was not aware the files are sort-off manuals.

I am not a Python fan and when I first used it - it bombed my Linux "terminal" application,
I have not completely "recovered" from the loss of "terminal" , the "substitute " ~ tilda - is driving me crazy.
I'll take a look at Python VM , I'll do just about anything to get back my "terminal".

I just "love" Linux's "BTW - you need to enable "dialout"...
Installed and running 'chirp" and it may have another "BTW..." changing the/dev/ rfcommx each time it is loaded /executed.


Update
I have sort-off / partially solved the "custom icon" - Linux application "gnome launcher" is working. but I need to figure out how to link several CLI commands.

I also think there is no need to rush, install the SD CARD slot, and calmly check. Good luck!


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

DMR
 

of 20 clicks, 1.2 works.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

DMR
 

I calibrated the touchscreen even more accurately, it turns out to take a screenshot of 20 times. I think I understand the reason, this is a long processing time for clicking on the touchscreen, in your firmware, pressing as if with a delay, maybe this affects.

In dislord firmware, out of 20 times, I manage to take 17-19 screenshots. It seems to me that delay is a matter of filtering.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

 

I need more details.

When you touch the very bottom of the screen, does the menu pop up or not ? .. hopefully it doesn't pop up

I've ordered some SD card PCB sockets so that I can test it properly on the little NanoVNA-H.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

DMR
 

Does not work ((
Somewhere else a small mistake.


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

 

oh I see, OK.

Added the touch bottom of screen to save screen to SD card, try this ..


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

DMR
 

In DiSlord firmware, the screenshot works if you click on the bottom of the screen. In the firmware from OneOfEleven, it is not possible to take a screenshot.

This area does not work on the display where the screenshot is taken.
The save function s1p, s2p in the menu works.
On my firmware (BW string is gray), i think need recalibrate touch. I change touch process function for better measure touch position

that is a good point... port permission is key

Wait a minute, that's not the firmware I'm working on DMR ??


Re: NanoVNA firmware user interface mod #mods

 

The newly added LC matching is actually very useful.

Here's one of those little super dooper pre-amps that you can buy three for just 8 UK pounds (SPF5189Z 0.5dB-N.F 22dBm 1dB-Comp 50MHz to a few GHZ). They work wonderfully without any matching down below 30MHz up to GHz's, but I guess it helps to optimise things.
