Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
I'm not aware of anything getting thrown out of the pram. The nanoVNA-V2 (or whatever they wind up calling it) looks promising if you want to work with the 2400 mhz ISM band, but for most of us

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Dear Bill, What a refreshing response. We must be about the same age ( I am 70, retired doctor). I learned about valves, transistors and electronics from 1960, by doing it, reading monthly magazines

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Bill, That's good to know. I am curious if you can remember what "newbie start here" document got you going with the nanoVNA. Finding technical information of any sort is much easier with the web than

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Hi Jerry, I started with one or two files that looked from the titles like "newbie start here". I may have been directed to the first one from a message posted here. I quickly found out how to turn it

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
I'm thinking hard about doing a README for the wiki. After some initial comments about VNA's and the nanoVNA in particular, it would then attempt to describe at least some of the other materials in

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Bill, A few quick questions, one word answers are fine: Was there a specific tutorial that got you over the hump in figuring out the nanoVNA well enough for a first successful use? If so, which

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Hi, I am happy with the WIKI and the group files. I went from zero to successful use of my nanoVNA strictly on the info I found through the group and the WIKI :) 73, Bill KU8H bark less - wag more

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Hi Bill - Specific feedback about which are more and less useful can promote improvements. Wiki editing can be tedious, but it is not hard. For those uncomfortable complaining about something "free",

Simple stand for holding VNA
The small lightweight nanoVNA is hard for me to hold, so I made stand to hold it. The fold up stand is very convenient to use, holds the unit at the proper angle for viewing and protects the switches

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Hi, I am in low orbit around all of this with a nanoVNA in my tool kit and a tinySA ordered. I have found the WIKI and some of the information in the io group useful and productive. I am not qualified

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Occasional private emails suggest or provoke Wiki edits, but (so far) neither volunteers nor requests for assistance editing it, much less pull requests to linked GitHub deliverables. I can imagine:

Re: I think I bricked my nano VNA
Thanks Roger, If anyone can point me to more information on doing a clearconfig, I'll look into it. So far, after getting the latest release loaded after having crashed it, it seems to be working.

Re: Firmware choices, wiki is awfully confusing
Please disregard my last post. It was ment for a different group. It was due to a person wanting to basically erase that groups WIKI and put an article he wrote as gospel on how to operate NanoVNA. I

Re: Odd Behavior of NanoVNA-Saver
In theory NanoVNA is a USB device as far as the hardware / OS where NanoVNA_Saver is running is concerned. The actual data passing thru the connection is pretty much immaterial as far as the

Re: Odd Behavior of NanoVNA-Saver
The idea of video playback never occurred to me, Larry. I looked in the syslog, and it literally says, "nanovna-saver.py exited with unknown error"

Re: Odd Behavior of NanoVNA-Saver
You may be right, Jim. I haven't tried waiting more than a few minutes between plugging in the device and launching NonaVNA-Saver. Then again, letting it crash and immediately relaunching is faster.

Re: Odd Behavior of NanoVNA-Saver
Charles, When I get split second popups, I video the display and play back the video at a slow speed until I can stop it at the pop-up.? Did you check your syslogs for error messages? On Sun, 9 Aug

Re: I think I bricked my nano VNA
Steve, Some developers recommend you do a Clearconfig 1234 (using a terminal program like putty) after a firmware update. This is followed by a touch screen calibration. Some "weird" issues have been

Odd Behavior of NanoVNA-Saver
After a few issues, I was able to get NanoVNA-Saver (Python) up and running on my Linux Mint 19.3 machine. Everything seems to work just fine but for one small problem... Every time I start
