vnaJ software ?


Andy G0FTD
 

Just wondering if vnaJ software can be used on the Nano ?

Anyone tried it ?

No, it cannot. I spoke to Dietmar about him making changes or facilitating others by opening the source, and he was not in favour of either case.

Yes, I¡¯m aware of a bunch of cheap VNAs ¨C but I do not find the time to support them all ¨C sorry to say this.

vna/J is closed source due to some reasons ¡­

We can ask why he takes this position, but it's his software and his prerogative.
It may be possible to take the other route - modifying the NanoVNA code or shimming the interface to provide compatibility that way. There would be a degree of reverse engineering the protocols used by VNA/J.

OK thanks for the feedback.
I just wanted to know before I took the time to start testing, and possibly avoiding a learning curve.
That would have been nice, because I can get vnaJ working fine on a Raspberry Pi.
Unfortunately I can't with Rune's Python software.
After a lot of messing about upgrading Python and getting modules installed, I got a errors.
I just thought it might be a back door route for Pi users.
Not a real problem since I can run it perfectly ok on my Linux Mint 18.3 system.
