Default com baudrate settings? NanoVNA-H
Having some trouble getting my NanoVNA-H to talk to NanoVNA-App. The app says it's connected via com 3, but it's not controlling the nano, or exchanging any data to and from it. I've tried several baud rates, but no dice.
I have not been able to locate what baud rate the Nano's default setting is. I have poured over the Nano manual. Maybe I've just missed it but so far, no help. Would appreciate that info, or how I can find it on the Nano. Ray, W4BYG -- "If you want to build a strong house, I'll give you my engineer's number.

The nanovna uses the USB protocol, so eventhough it looks like a serial

port, it doesn't use a baud rate setting. So that shouldn't matter. For reference, though, mine shows the default 38400/8/n/1 setting in device manager. Your problem is likely something different. Stan On Sun, Feb 26, 2023, 5:35 PM Ray, W4BYG <w4byg@...> wrote:

Ray, it sounds like you have a device already assigned to COM3. You need to delete it.

If your usings Windows open up the Device Manager by right clicking on the Microsoft Logo in the lower left hand corner of your screen. See if you can find a Comport listing. Select it and delete any Prolific Drivers or other ones you see there. Then restart your computer. This might help. Not sure. But worth a try.

The baud rate does dot matter on a USB "COM port". I suspect the reason NanoVNA app is not working on your -H is because you are using old firmware. The old firmware used text transfers for data exchange to the PC and if you connect to NanoVNA app nothing happens which is what you are seeing. NanoVNA app requires the binary protocol that DiSlord implemented in the NanoVNA firmware a couple of years ago. Roger |

My NanoVNA-H has v.0.2.3-2-g8ac9166, (not sure of the "g"), dated Build Oct 10, 2019. Does that fall into what you call "old FW"? If so, Don't know what is involved in gaining "the required the binary protocol that DiSlord implemented in the NanoVNA-H firmware a couple of years ago. Thank you for your insight and assistance, Ray, w4byg On 2/27/2023 13:06, Roger Need via groups.io wrote:

YES that is very old firmware. Many bugs and improvements to the firmware have been made by DiSlord and Hugen. If you update the firmware in your -H to a recent version you will get the binary transfer protocol and many other useful features. The Absolute Beginners Guide in the file section of this group tells you how to install the DFU drivers that are needed for firmware update and how to install the latest firmware. /g/nanovna-users/files/Absolute%20Beginner%20Guide%20to%20The%20NanoVNA/Absolute_Beginner_Guide_NanoVNA_v1_6.pdf You don't have to register to get the DFU program and drivers. I have put a copy on my Box account for you... Roger |
