Re: Firmware summary
Dave and Ohan, Thanks. I'm going to try to use the ST-Link V2.0 units I bought so I can gain some experience with using them and the various C development environments. I've got quite a few STM32

Re: NanoVNA does not want to start -solved
Placing a 20 - 100 ohm resistor has not brought a solution. The IP5303 will not start wiyh the SW1 switch. Also, as a test with a 6V / 3W light bulb on the load pin 8, it will not start. Here the load

Re: NanoVNA Saver - bug report?
Hi Rune Many thanks; the full path fixes it... /home/nick/nanovna-saver/full_sweep but ~/nanovna-saver/full_sweep does not work. A few suggestions on the user interface... - how about removing the

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Inputs appreciably outside power supply limits will be problematic. ESD was most problematic for CMOS not internally protected. 50 Ohm bridge pretty much protects the active chips; bridge resistors

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
One other thought. During a discussion yesterday on this group, measurments were taken as to what the OUTPUT levels were from Ch0. They were 200mv peak to peak IIRC. As such, I think I'd want to

Thanks Erik. I read the slides from the link but did not notice mention of another protection method that I've seen using zener diodes. Referring to the attached image, drawing A is mentioned in the

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
You could use something like a ESD0P4RFL. Will need some space on the board. And it's quite small, but very low capacitance.

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
Erik.. Two things here confuse me. 1 - I've looked at the SA612 spec sheet. I can't see anything that tells me what the maximum input is before the device is destroyed. That would determine what

Re: Finger tightening SMA connections
Reg, for this reason I picked up some "SMA Nuts" on eBay after I discovered I had the same issue with my NanoVNA. Now each of my three SMA standards wears a collar. Below are a couple of eBay links to

Re: Does anyone know how sensitive the nanovna is to electrostatic discharge?
The CH0 input of the nanoVNA is basically an attenuator connecting to a SA612 mixer without any additional protection.
