Re: TinySA ULTRA 4" - No longer works
Could it be alingment or some solid particle? I had issues like those with
expensive connectors.

Re: TinySA ULTRA 4" - No longer works
Hi.
Erik, did you design the printed circuit board ?
Before I started to disassemble the device, I decided to check if the signal generator was working. A picture of this menu is attached to the

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
1) For those who didn't bother to look at the diagram, it shows
specifically 35 kHz. Enough said.....
THE REST:
I as well come from a physics background.
Be extremely careful with those power

Re: TinySA ULTRA 4" - No longer works
Indeed, the display test failed also. This indicates bad communication over the SPI bus.
Can you open the case and try to reseat the LCD cable? Maybe that will solve the problem

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
Thank you. Are the attenuators specific to your design of tinySA or are they are standard fitting device available from various outlets?
One other point; what feature of a single loop (of 2mm tinned

Re: TinySA ULTRA 4" - No longer works
It looks like the MCU can't read data through the SPI interface. if it still doesn't work after removing the SD card, the MUC's SPI port may be faulty. the SD card, LCD, and RF chip are all mounted on

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
When you are probing with a loop antenna you can start at large distance (two meters) and reduce the distance if there are no strong signals.
Unless you are exiting the coil with a LOT of power, then

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
The tinySA Basic (0.3.1 model) will actually work well down to 10 kHz but you lose some dynamic range

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
What about the issue of potentially damaging the SA? How can I work out the dB of the fields surrounding the coils to best protect it? I do have one of those cheap field meters for elec and mag

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
Yes, an important question. 10kHz - 20MHz I think is reasonable. I know the tinySA is not accurate below 100kHz but I have heard that by making some Config adjustments then it will detect

Re: Measuring resonant coil outputs
What frequencies are you targeting?
The supplied antenna is good for 50 MHz and higher but is a lot less sensitive for 10 MHz and lower
For low frequencies you better use a (home made) loop

Measuring resonant coil outputs
Hi all,
I’m new to this group, a physicist by background but also new to using a spectrum analyser. Before I go and actually buy the Aursinc V0.3.1 model, I wanted to ask about how I might go about

Re: TinySA ULTRA 4" - No longer works
I wonder if there is a possibility that the firmware is corrupted in some
way. Perhaps re-installing the same version of firmware might produce a
clue?
Just my 2 cents!
