Re: NanoVNA-Saver Linux update procedure #tutorials

 

For updating the software, it should be sufficient to just type "git pull"
in the nanovna-saver directory. This updates all the files - and the only
reason for the install command is to fetch the dependencies.

I don't run the software on Linux, and I choose to prioritize developing it
further over getting it running on multiple platforms - sorry. :-)

If you are updating your previously installed NanoVNA-Saver in Linux, the
procedure is the same with one exception. If you try to do the gitclone, it
will complain that the directory is not empty. So first I moved my current
install to a different directory name then followed install steps as
normal. Your existing launcher/shortcut will still work as directory
structure is the same. Also you can still use the previous version if
necessary by changing the path. I also have added a no cache option for pip
to avoid the "directory not owned by current user" error.

sudo mv nanovna-saver nanovna-saver-2.1

then

git clone
cd nanovna-saver
sudo python3.7 -m pip --no-cache-dir install .

Re: NanoVNASaver-0.2.2 Crash on Calibration Load

 

Hi Aldo,
thanks for reporting the bug. If possible, please try starting the
application from a command prompt (cmd.exe), and copy or screenshot the
error message that turns up in that window after the crash. This will
pinpoint exactly where the error lies.

I will try to look at it as soon as I can. :-)

This is almost surely a path and permissions problem. Mostly path. Where things wind up using this or that install routine, versus what the "distro" has mandated as the be-all and end-all of directory structures.

I wish the "high forehead" pocket-protector-flapping, egotistical, IDIOTS in charge of all the Linux distros would pull their collective high-forehead crania out of their asses and decide upon

ONE

directory structure. Right now, I can think of four discrete layouts, with /usr, /usr/local, /usr/etc/local (Believe it or not! But I think this one died a lonely death already - I hope.) and a couple of other variants involving /opt, where things can wind up.

Don't let any of their BS fool you, it's somebody's personal preference and NOT "security." Any directory on a Linux system is as secure as any other one, if the right options are selected, so /usr and /usr/local are not different in any significant way.

That crap, and the "sudo" insanity pushed by the ScrewBuntu crowd drive me absolutely ape-snot.

All that said, now it just means we need to track down where your system has decided to put the various bits and pieces, kick it in the gonads, and make a few symbolic links to where things -really- are instead.

Check the install logs, and see where the Qt5 stuff actually was sent when you tried to install it. Then we might be able to track down where your distro will accept them and force the correct parts down it's throat.

You also mentioned using locate. locate is useless until after the database is rebuilt, which happens in a system cron job or if you run it yourself.

Re: android app?

 

I'm reporting my experience with the Web app in case it might be helpful to somebody.

I opened the web page on two Android devices. They are versions 5.3 and 6.0, which I know are old, but both worked with a USB memory stick so I know that the OTG cable was good. However neither one would connect to my NanoVNA. Both said "Error: Failed to open. Error: failed to claim interface". I guess the NanoVNA firmware is too old or something. The firmware works fine for me as standalone so I don't want to upgrade it at this time.

After that, I installed nanovna-saver-v0.2.2 on Windows 10. The NanoVNA connected and transferred the scan to the graphs, so that worked.

If you search for it, can you find a file somewhere in the file system named "setup.py"? (Probably in a PyQt5 subdirectory somewhere else.)

Hi Chuck,
i see you need to install a driver on windows 7 so that your computer can see

STSW-LINK004 (ST-Link) or en.stsw-stm32102.zip (STM32 Virtual Com Port
driver). DefuSe or ST-Link is required for a firmware upgrade.
After installation, plug the nanoVNA connector into your computer's USB port.
Use the USB cable (not OTG) supplied with the nanoVNA.
I don't know what the usb connector of white nanovna.
You can see in the device manager of your computer that it is present at COM &
LPT.
If not, a little utility (USBDeview) will help you to remove the faulty driver.
To run nanoVNA-Saver on Windows 7, you must have the SP1 Service Pack
installed and MS VC ++ multipack (2005-2017) installed, then the windows exe
version of nanovna-saver will work. It starts up slower when you first start
up, later it is faster.

Hope I was able to help with the solution.

================================
Gyula, thanks for the feedback.

I had attached a PDF including the information I had hoped would show the problem and system information for my computer. I've attached it to this message for reference.

This problem is above my level of understanding and knowledge. The list of ports and drivers is included on the PDF. Which is what and correct or wrong is not obvious to me.

So then, I'll need to educate myself and hope to figure out what is what from the information you provided. I believe I do have the correct connection cable once the other problems are corrected.

Re: Poor Manual

 

I have this book and it useful.

But it's mostly about the NanoVNA history, features and functions and not much about step-wise setup, use and worked examples.

This one has more about useful applications and how to make measurements. Not so much with step-wise instruction but many worked examples.

Re: NanoVNA-Saver Linux update procedure #tutorials

 

Hi Jim I don't see where my program starts. But it does (is it compile?) Go
thru the process of trying to get there.
I was wondering if I loaded a Python IDE and tried to get the program to
run from there if I would have a closer look at the problem. There are a
whole lot of tools to use in the world of Linux maybe I could put one to
use. I think it would take a whole lot of videos on YouTube to get me up to
speed.!.

That might be the same error message I got when I installed the
latest Nanovna-saver yesterday. The program still starts, but I haven't
tried actually connecting to the NVNA.
