How to download TinySA-App (Windows)
Might seem a stupid question but how can I download all files at once from? ?
I downloaded file-by file via browser so far as I wasn't able download the whole folder ;) Tried with FTP-Client (WinSCP, Port 80) but it seems like I don't get the settings right to connect...? Thanks or clarification Btw: I'm super impressed with the TinySA. It's such a valueable device, the operation is very intuitive, runs very stable, tons of features but still clearly arranged, nice youtube tutorials, price/performance ratio is as good as it can get, worth every penny Thanks for the hard work! |

The HMC213A requires an LO level of +13dBm where the mixer I used only needed +7dBm LO. It may work.

New unity problem - Blank display
Hi there!
?
I just received my TinySA, but I have a problem:
?
-the display is completely blank.?
?
The good thing is: the TinySA is almost completely functional: I managed to use it (and test it) using the TinySA-app and the Screen Capture module with Auto Refresh on.? If I use the main screen display of the app (the graph window) I have nothing.?
?
I watched Erick's video (first use) and almost everything ran great except during the self-test, where I got Test 11: Display Failure. Observation: the display touch function works.
?
Another observation: using the TinySA-app Screen Capture module I'm not able to see the waterfall.
?
I was able also to update the TinySA firmware to its most recent version.??
?
My question: Does anyone has had this problem as well? Is there anything I could try to do to fix the display issue? Re-soldering anything? Even change the display??
?
The obvious action isn't practical: return it back to the seller (China). Important to say: it is an original one ( came from AliExpress - Zeenko Store )
?
Thank you for any suggestion you can give me.?
?

Juan and Erik,
The same mixer Toni indicates above arrived just today from another shop at Aliexpress where I ordered it beginning this month. So I haven't tried it yet, but was curious about the chip and figured out that it has to be the AnalogDevices mixer HMC213A or HMC213B, see??or the (obsolete)?? There you have all the available data. Erik probably used a different mixer module, so I am curious about the experiences of Toni, did it work out like in Erik's video? I don't know if the datasheets contain enough data to undertand the workings when you use the thing as a (sub)harmonic mixer like Erik is doing in his video, but part of the trick is using the High output of the tinySA which gives you a square wave into the LO input of the mixer I guess. Keep experimenting! Ben |

Re: TinySA as a signal generator
#584c
It is advised to stay at least least 3 dB below maximum low output power to ensure the output impedance is as close as possible to 50 ohms. This should work for the complete 100kHz to 350MHz range.
Going below the specified minimum output frequency of 100kHz the output impedance will gradually increase and become more and more capacitive. ------------------------------------------ For more info on the tinySA go to https://tinysa.org/wiki/ |
Re: TinySA as a signal generator

Dear Erik:
Is there any idea what the output impedance of the signal generator is? In what frequency ranges or power will it be around 50 Ohms? Thank you, |

It's a Mini-Circuits mixer, from the SIM range, forgot what number.? Its a double balanced diode mixer. Any level 7 (requiring maximum +7dBm LO drive) mixer that can handle the high frequencies will do
If you want some conversion gain (which is nice when connected directly to an antenna) you may also use an active mixer such as the? AIM81008 but you have to reduce the LO input level to -5dBm ------------------------------------------

which is the integrated mixer circuit that you use to lower the wifi frequency in your youtube tests

Re: New FW release: Automatic restore of last sweep range after power off/on
Alan,
That seems like a duplication to the PRESET functionality Using PRESET/STORE/STORE AS STARTUP you can save any configuration as startup configuration or you can let it start with factory defaults. I still need to add presets to the OUTPUT modes so you can startup in a fully configured output mode. The idea with the auto save is to prevent wear of the internal flash by saving a limited state in the battery powered backup registers You can always go back to startup state by doing PRESET/LOAD STARTUP -- ------------------------------------------

Re: New FW release: Automatic restore of last sweep range after power off/on
Hi Erik, I'm relatively new (#) to TinySA - firstly can I say what an absolutely brilliant product you have produced. ?
Here is my suggestion for a future release: Add three new functions to the Config Menu: ?- On Power On ....? (choices are: Default, M1 or M2) ?- M1 (select saved seetings) ?- M2 (select alternate saved settings) For the settings: - Mode - Frequency,;Centre, Span, etc - Level; Trigger, (Trigger Level, etc) Attenuate, etc etc. [Obviously this would also require you to add a "save settings" option to the menu(s).] Basic idea, is to give a means on power-up to default to your previously saved set-up on switch-on, or for general use just revert to the TinySA's existing defaults, and also to quickly switch to one of the two saved settings options.? #? I came across a reference to the TinySA in an on-line discussion, when I was trying to diagnose an issue with a commercial bit of kit operating in the 433MHz ISM band.? Having found the website and read the cautions about the rip-offs on eBay, I purchased mine from Mirfield Elecectronics - as suggested.? It enabled me to resolve the issue I was having, so has already paid for itself. ? |

Re: New FW release: Automatic restore of last sweep range after power off/on
Power on device
Set frequency range Power off device After next power on, frequency range must restored. Also possible remember others settings if need Used backup memory region, powered from battery, so if remove battery this featore not work. |

Can all the examples in your msg be added to the restore? On Mon, Dec 13, 2021 at 6:53 AM Erik Kaashoek <erik@...> wrote: New FW release --
