Upgrading TinySA Ultra with dfu-util does not work

 

If I execute the bat file DFU_LOAD_BIN.bat as indicated in the wiki, I get the following error:

How to solve it?


My Ultra just has arrived!

 

(From R&L) I was prepared to re-align the lcd, but found mine is perfect so I can get right to the fun!


Re: Black screen after firmware update

 

incorrect version...that one is for the tinySA, not the Ultra

Did you use the correct file format (bin) and the specific file for the tinySA Ultra (not the tinySA)?

Did you follow the steps in Erik's guide?

Re: Rotate Display 90 degrees? #feature_request

Is it possible to just rotate the display in its case?

In the display driver you have to modify all occurrences of DISPLAY_ROTATION_*
In the LCD configuration you have the switch the definition of LCD_WIDTH and LCD_HEIGHT
In the touch_position function you have to switch x and y and then it's just a lot of work to make everything fit.

Re: TinySA ULTRA calibration reset error

 

Hi, Eric,
I've also noticed that when I change the brightness of the display, this setting only applies until TinySA is turned off. It would be good if the brightness setting was part of STORE AS STARTUP.

Today I was using TinySA (with RF probe) to repair a home made UHF transceiver and it was very pleasant to work with. Beautiful instrument!

Re: TinySA Ultra screen misaligned

 

I received mine from R&L yesterday and immediately noticed the screen was mis-aligned with a tilt that cut off the upper left text.? What a relief it was to have this groups.io where I could learn that a) I was not the only one to have the issue and b) it is easily corrected.? And even better, after using the TinySA Ultra for a few minutes the display "fixed" itself, shifting into a straightened view.? I am assuming it must have just shifted a bit during shipping.

I already had the original TinySA, but this upgrade to the Ultra is worth every cent, and Erik deserves the equivalent of an academy award for bringing these powerful tools to the "radio table" for such a low cost.? I came very close to spending 20X the cost for an additional spectrum analyzer with a higher frequency range, had I not learned of the new Ultra version.


Re: TinySA ULTRA calibration reset error

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Okay, Eric, I understand.
I'm gonna describe another little problem. Example:
I set the frequency to 50 to 100 MHz.
I click on the marker, the marker becomes active.
Then I execute: MARKER... MARKER OPS...CENTER
The action executes correctly, but after the action, a triangle appears in front of SPAN on the bottom right of the display, indicating that SPAN is active. However, Jog does not change the value of SPAN where the triangle is, but changes the value of CENTER.
But I think after the OPS CENTER action the marker should remain active, Jog should still move the marker.

Should be ok now.

The generator and the SA use the same backup locations for frequency and span so when switching between the modes the frequency will always be reset.

Hi, Erik,
I'm testing version 512 (TinySA reports it as 511). The bug with the ultra band restoration seems to be fixed. Only when switching mode to generator and back, the range is always set to 0 to 800 MHz in SA. Excellent work!

Re: Tiny SA shipped

 

I got mine today from R&L Electronics. This was a pleasant surprise as I had not gotten an email that it had shipped.

Re: Tiny SA shipped

 

Mine just arrived form R&L Electronics. Ordered on 11/9/22. Now I just need to open it and play! It arrived just in time for our local amateur radio club meeting tomorrow (Saturday). It might make for a good show-and-tell.

Another thanks to all who brought this device to market!
