So far, loving it, rough spots in the documentation and all. I won't be
using it for deep and dark analyses, just getting ham antennae in-band
and centered where I want them, and co-ax troubleshoothing and the like.
If I am reading the docs right, it can do a whole lot more. Quite the
little gadget.

Just a couple of quick queries:

1) The Android NanoVNA WebApp downloaded and installed nicely. I
unwrapped a brand-new USB-C to USB-C cable (15cm long), plugged one end
into the Nano, the other into the phone with the Nano WebApp running,
and selected "connect" on the phone. "No Device Found." Same cable
works fine to connect two phones together to share a file. (I tried
it.) I guess I'm missing something, perhaps a setting on the NanoVNA
somewhere? Being able to use a phone instead of a laptop or even a
tablet while hanging off a tower would be quite the nice thing.
Pointers, anyone?

2) Any other Linux users out there? What shows up in a cursory pass
through is basically just for Ubuntu. (Sorry, I do NOT use Ubuntu
-anything.- I consider it the WinBlows (WinSucks?) of Linux
distributions. YMMV, of course.) Even the github write-up has nothing
much besides downloading and using an install shell script (which link
takes you to other than a shell script download...) on the cloned git
repository. With luck there will be enough Python stuff in the cloned
directory to get it compiled anyway; wish me luck. That's another
project for a sleepless night in the near future.

So, I'm looking to find the proper and best Linux software to use.
Having just joined this list about an hour ago, I have not yet had a
chance to do a deep dive into the archives to see what has already been
posted. That should happen tonight or tomorrow; replies in the form of
links to previous threads in the list would be appreciated, or new
thoughts if anyone has them.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Wes,
NanoVNA-Saver should work fine on whatever flavour of Linux you run,
assuming it has at least Python 3.7 (maybe even 3.6) and is 64 bit. PyQt5,
the user interface library used, isn't available for 32 bit Linux any more.

The Ubuntu instructions in the readme don't do anything Ubuntu specific -
it just hasn't been tested elsewhere.

If you don't want to clone from Github, you can download a zip file from
the "releases" section.

I look forward to hearing how it works :-)

Ahh the linux holy wars. I can assure you that nanovna-saver works fine on
Fedora.

It's a pure python program though it needs some libraries that are
available in the repository but the packages are named slightly differently
in different distributions. The pip3 instructions should be consistent,
though.

I think the other software choices are windows-specific. At least by
report, the hardware communication under wine isn't smooth.

And you can always communicate directly with the ChibOS to get data in text
mode using a terminal program. For instance minicom at 9600 8N1. The prompt
is ch> and 'help' gives a list of commands.

Hi,

I have Python 3.7.4 installed on win7-32 bit SP1 integrated, which runs
the nanovna saver.
Of course, the required modules are installed with the -pip command, and I
have verified that they are present. I don't think 64-bit hardware is
needed to get it running.
