Re: TinySA Antenna

 

This is quote long. Hopefully it does not put a strain on the SMA connector.

Erik,

Where do we find the latest file to download? The latest I can find is 1.3317.

Many thanks!

Re: WARNING: Mirfield sold clones after they promised not to do so.

 

Hello all,
Just to follow up my previous message.
I received my TinySA from Mirfield Electronics yesterday - four days after I ordered it (with a weekend in between).
From what I can see (checking the points on ) it is a totally legitimate genuine item.
I have not updated the firmware yet but it is showing "v1.3-111" dated 15th May 2021.

And on what band you are looking for antennas?

Ok well don't I feel silly now. Okay the "0.3" wasn't the FW version.

I put on my glasses and saw in the text further down the actual FW. It shows 1.3.317 dated Aug 23, 2021.

I'll go crawl back under my rock now...

Hello,? Sorry if this has been already been gone over, but I downloaded the latest

DFU file for upgrading my FW from 0.3 to 1.3.? After figuring out how to get the proper

drivers loaded and the DfuSeDemo to see the TinySA, I was able to apparently get a

successful upload to the TinySA.

?

However, when I check under CONFIG>VERSION, it still says v0.3

?

What did I miss?

?

Thanks

John,

I measured SWR of tinySA Telescopic Antenna by NanoVNA SAA2.

The antenna with max length has good SWR at 300MHz and 740MHz.

It has very bad SWR under 300MHz.

でつ good grief?

The impedance of a telescopic antenna is nowhere near either 75 nor 50 ohms unless adjusted in length to a specific frequency. It will then be impedance matched on this one frequency only. Any telescopic antenna with SMA connector will work. The input of the TinySA however is 50 ohms.

Re: tinysa can't connect or see in com port or usb connections for PC windows 7 #tinysa

 

The TinySA communicates with the PC in two modes:? USB Console and DFU mode.? They use different drivers for each mode.
USB Console Mode is used to communicate with the PC application "tinySA-App"
DFU mode is used to update the firmware

WIN 7 does not come with the drivers to recognize the TinySA in USB mode or DFU mode.

A similar problem exists with the NanoVNA which uses a similar USB interface.? The problem is discussed in this document which uses the PC app NanoVNA Saver (TinySA uses "tinySA-App")?


Here is a source for the driver for USB mode . You want? en.stsw-stm32102.zip (STM32 Virtual Com Port driver).? Unzip it and install the Windows 7 version.? After that you can connect to "tinySA-App" by selecting the associated COM port.

For upgrading the firmware you will need to install the DFU driver which is another stp.

Re: TinySA Antenna

 

The tinySA antenna is for demonstration and some simple measurements only, any tie rod antenna can be substituted, using an antenna that matches your receive frequency will work better.

I inadvertently snapped the antenna at its base. The analyzer is fine, but needs a new antenna. Is there a replacement or substitute I can get for it?

Thanks.
Re: Posting images

 

Have a look at this post on how to link Windows Snipping Tool to the "prt scr"key.? ?I currently use this with Windows 10 but have previously used it on my old windows 7 computer.


A shortcut to the "PrintScrSnip"version installed in the above method needs to be put in your startup folder.
