Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

Yes I think I have a defective LoRa module on this. I want to test it with the analyzer. But I don’t know if the miner would be the input or the output.?


Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

I found what he is talking about:
??? RAK Hotspot V2
??????? Earn Helium IOT Tokens!
??????? Efficient and robust Hotspot for earning Helium IOT ($IOT) tokens
??????? Helium LongFi? and LoRaWAN technologies combine to support long range, low power IoT solutions?
?
He is using the SA to test the LeRa antenna, which is receiving a signal from a different LoRa device.


Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

No clue what that is, what you’re testing it for or why you would use a spectrum analyser. ?

if you could fill in the first two parts we could ?maybe help?


Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

What is a "miner"?
If it is a transmitter, be careful not to destroy the tinySA

Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

Hey thanks! I will check these out. Just to be sure. if I’m connecting it to a miner to that’s sending a test beacon, the SA will be the output correct?


Re: Need to test a helium rak miner loRa antenna. Not sure what settings i need to set the SA to?

 

STart by reading the spec on the wiki
This will tell you what input to use.
Then have a look at the menu tree
At the bottom you will find how to select the needed input

the antenna is on a 915mhz band. I've been using a 5.8db antenna. I can send a test beacon to the device that the SA should be able to pick up. Not sure what settings to change though on the SA? I'm new to all of this. Do i need select high or low input or output?
?
Thanks!?

There is a low level pulse output signalling a start of sweep through the REF SMA

Signal Generator Mode

 

I've seen mention of a trigger for 'start of sweep' in signal generator mode.
?
Is there any documentation on that ?? Couldn't find it in the wiki.

Does it work only on both? tinySA and tinySA ultra ?
?
Thanks

Re: Trying to run 11.7 source

 

Upgrading the firmware to the latest version did fix the problem.?

Re: #software QtTinySA v0.11.7 release #software

 

Hi Ash,
?
The configuration database is not updated unless a tinySA is connected when you change the preferences value.? This is unintentional and I will fix it - I will add it as an issue to the Github .
?
Regarding problems running on Ubuntu 22.04 (etc) I didn't realise I hadn't tested this after I upgraded all my PCs to 24.04 and built the executable on 24.04.? I will find a way to build a 22.04 compatible executable and add it to the 'releases' when I can.
?
Ian


Re: Firmware updates

 

if you have the ultra version, you can make a backup of your firmware, it will be saved on the sd. if you have never updated or reset, save the calibration table, and then you can safely update. before updating, do a full reset.

I purchased a TinySA a few years ago and the build Firmware is V1.1-72.? I would like to update the Firmware in order to use the 'sweep out trigger' facility that was added later.? Current Firmware build appears to be at V1.4-175.? There is almost four years of development shown in the change log between these two Firmware builds, so can I do this upgrade in one go or is my version too old to take it?

Trying to run 11.7 source

 

Ubuntu 24.04, trying to run 11.7 from a command line with python 3.12, in a venv.?
Previously I had installed V0.10.1 using apt and it does communicate.
Had to erase the old .config/QtTSAprefs.db file with 11.7
Is there something I'm missing, python text output below.? Thanks for any ideas.
Running source because I want to learn more about the program.
----
python3.12 QtTinySA.py
QSocketNotifier: Can only be used with threads started with QThread
Personal configuration database found at /home/rich/.config/QtTinySA
Database open: True
QtTinySA v0.11.7
Serial port /dev/ttyACM0 open: True
/dev/ttyACM0 test 0 : tinySA4_v1.4-109
for fastest possible scan speed, upgrade firmware to v1.4-177 or later
measurement thread running
data error
measurement thread stopped
?
It doesn't return any data from the SA, but does setup the screen.
Is this because I haven't upgraded my SA firmware ?
Thanks for any help.

Re: #software QtTinySA v0.11.7 release #software

 

Hi Ian,
thank you for the reply,

Please report any issues in the QtTinySA github 'issues' page and not here.


I did that a few minutes ago.

Uli, this will likely be something missing or the wrong version in you installation.? I don't have Debian but use the derivative Kubuntu 22.04 and 24.04, and Bookworm-based PiOS and it works on all of those.
I dont't think that there is something wrong with my linux installation. Debian stable uses glibc 2.36. QtTinySA linux
executable v0.10.6 is running fine here.
Is the QtTinySA linux executable v0.10.7 really running in your Kubuntu 22.04? Ubuntu 22.04 ("jammy") uses glibc 2.35.

Being an official accessory made by the factory that produces the TinySA Ultra, perhaps the announcement of availability would have deserved a separate topic dedicated to these new products ...
