NanoVNA-H new user - can't connect to USB (windows 10)
Hi all,
I bought a new NanoVNA-H on ebay and received it today. It seems to work, but when I connect it to a laptop using the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable, I get a warning "USB device not recognised. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it". I've tried connecting many times, different ports, rebooting, and a different laptop, but always get that message and the device shows up as "not working" in device manager. I had a quick look at the board, the connections to the socket and soldering of the processor look OK, no shorts that I can see. Has this been seen before, is there a solution or do I need to buy another one? Thanks for any advice. |

been solved. But when you try all the fixes, it still does not work! It seems that the WIN10 virtual comport gets confused by having made many changes. I don't know exactly why, but I found a site that has a "driver fixer" and that worked for me. Here is a link: Please let me know if this solves your problem too! Robert M.

It was very definitely the cable. After buying a new cable, windows recognised the device automatically, no messing with drivers was needed, and NanoVNA Saver worked first time.
Apparently some sellers of clones are cheaping out on the accessories, and the cable is junk (maybe it's intended as a phone charging cable only).. mine was missing a "short" and "open" cal standard as well. Thank you. |
