NanoVNA Versions


 

I purchased a NanoVNA from Amazon. I chose the white face version, just for looks. Reading through messages and manuals here, I see descriptions of unit with 4 traces. The one I received only has two traces. Unlike the latest posted manual, there does not appear to be anyway to determine the firmware version. I suspect I may have received a very old unit. I believe the page said "BY HKCNMA".
Anyone provide some guidance?
Thanks
Fred


 

There are at least two versions of the firmware: one with 2 traces and larger font for an easier to use display or the one with four traces.? You load whichever one you like for your current project.

How do you change to a different version of the firmware?


 

As hugen mentioned yesterday, he is thinking of re-integrating (merging?) the larger fonts with his current source code.
The larger fonts were created in order to display Chinese characters.
Hopefully, that will offer more options to all us old, er, more mature folk.

As for the number of traces, install the 4 trace firmware and just turn off 2 of them, if you want.

You flash in the new firmware.
Look in the FILES & WIKI sections for instructions, utilities and files.
