Looks like this is not? going to become a new product. Has anyone modified the tinySA for a larger screen? I'll mill my own cabinet.

Tnx,

In theory (I have not had time to try it yet), it can be upgraded to a 3.2” screen, in the same way as an iriginal Nanovna was upgraded (a year and a half ago, in the forum and on the nanovna wiki, I think).

You will have the same resolution but a 40% larger viewing area. No firmware should need changing although power consumption may be higher and a few more spurs may be displayed. It is a similar upgrade as the V2 vna was with the Hugen “black and gold” v2 version.

However you have to get the appropriate 3.2” screen (I already have several) and need some desoldering and soldering skills, verging on on that required for smaller smd components ( to unsolder the flexible connector on the sa board and resolder the 3.2” screen back on. ?The 4.2” screen would need a firmware recompile and Eric is not minded to do this. The vnas were more open source so many people could do it and publish the modified firmware.?

Steve,

The embedded software of the tinySA is FOSS (free and open source software) according to the GPL v3 and can be found at

So you could modify the firmware to support a larger screen if you wanted to modify your TinySA.
