Re: Beta test channel #betatest

 

Can you check if v1.1-50 also has this problem.

Please add me to the beta testing list.?

Many thanks,

Re: Beta test channel #betatest

 

v1.1-49

Test #3 Stopband fails 50/50
There are visible spikes at 19 and 21 MHz.
Sometimes the left spike goes beyond threshold and test fails.

There are no visible spikes with stable fw, test is always Ok.
Locked What to do when you think you bought a tinySA clone.

 
Edited

  • If selftest 7 and 8 fail you may have a clone.
  • If the serial number at the back of your tinySA starts with "AD" you have a clone. Complain and get a refund.
  • If the text next to the high input connector is "HICH" you have a clone. Complain and get a refund
  • If the FW version is v1.1-66 you have a clone. Complain and get a refund

Otherwise, open the tinySA case by removing the 4 screws
If the PCB is green, there are no shields on the PCB and the print on the PCB says "tinySA v0.4" you have a clone

Otherwise submit a 3 photos
  1. The failing self test
  2. The tinySA back cover sticker
  3. The component side of the PCB
These photos? will help us to identify a clone.

Re: Video of selftest fail of bad clone

 

Soon will be plenty of clones and "watch and be warned" is not enough as most people will watch after having had problems with their purchase.

You can do two things:

1) Do nothing else and only the most expert buyers will get a refund. The cloners will keep on selling more and more clones.

2) Be the most expert cheated buyer and give the buyers all the tools to make an efficacious request of refund at a level of copy/paste, including a compact letter in jpg format with your company name and logo where you, "the original manufactureer and owner of the tinySA name and logo" declare that devices with "the following problems..." cannot be used for their original purphose and are illegal copies using tinySa name, logo and case design illegally to deceive buyers.

If you follow the second way most of the buyers will get a full refund (and buy again from you) and you probably will be able to force the copy makers to change name and logo so that buyers can recognize the difference between original and copies.

Hi Erik and everyone.

Where is the proper place to report bugs and issues for the beta fw, here or on github?

?To All the Beta Testers and ERIK-

Thanks for all the research, testing and feedback. You have my full support. As soon as the TinySA came out I bought one, and used it to track some RFI that we found moved up and down the band (2Meters) effecting an Amateur repeater on a fixed frequency. More below.

In the upcoming weeks and month of Beta Testing and refinement, I am sure the overall product will improve, beyond my expectations. Thank you for your dedication and volunteering. One comment.. When a "stable- approved" firmware version is good enough for the average Joe- please let us know it's OK to upgrade. Perhaps that version would also match the "users" manual so that one upgrading to that firmware would be confident that it works and the "manual" can be refereed to at a high confidence level.

Back to the RFI - Since the repeater duplexers and receiver band-pass limited the RFI to only look as if intermittent, we found the TinySA showed a wide signal moving up and down the band. Because it was now a visual constant signal we tracked it a few blocks... to guess what??
A BIKER BAR - with a reputation, that the local police had cleaned up a few years ago but still, not the place to take your mother for tea. even Long Island Iced Tea..? Well, alone one afternoon , I entered and spoke to the bar tender.. explained why I was there..?
Once inside it was easy to find the culprit.. A neon tube beer sign about 3ft by 2ft..The bar tender told me "sometimes it flashes" and the beer distributor promised a replacement as it distracted those playing pool nearby.? Well, as soon as he saw the TinySA display and unplugging it, the signal disappeared. He said- I'll keep it off telling the distributor, you want it on, bring me a new sign.. So we had a beer and all is well since.

Re: Interest in tinysa without display

 

Simon,
You could probably surgically disable the display backlight to save power (without any firmware change).

Dear all
I would like to integrate a spectrum analyzer to a laser oscillator for supervising the quality of a laser beam via photodiode. This photodiode will be routed to spectrum analyzer over a TIA. The result will be send to PC application or to a microcontroller to make further actions. Because the SA is integrated in a device there is no need for a display. My questions are:
1. Is possible to run tinysa without display to save power?
2. I guess the protocol regarding extraction of data out of sa is open and documented?
3. To readout data is it possible to make access over rs232 not USB? Is there a native USB communication on this board or is a rs232 to USB converter?
4. I guess that this problem with dual peak is solved for this type of device?
Best regards

Not without modifying the SW, which you can do yourself

See:?https://tinysa.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.USBInterface
?
3. To readout data is it possible to make access over rs232 not USB? Is there a native USB communication on this board or is a rs232 to USB converter?
The USB interface is native. There is also RS232 HW available on the PCB but currently does not fit in FW so it is commented out but you can remove unneeded parts and enable the serial interface
?
4. I guess that this problem with dual peak is solved for this type of device?
No double peak with tinySA
