Support for NanoVNA-F V3

Unread post by oxoocoffee »

Hello,

Looks like this unit has a problem with your software. I am repeating the same steps as outlined in a separate thread.
I am attaching the Debug log on connect and screenshot. Please note, when connecting the Debug windows shows firmware version but the label on your application does not update. Also the start and end frequencies are not read from running NanoVNA-F v3

Below is when connecting and selecting NanoVNA-F from menu. But V2 does the same thing.

Code: Select all

21:05:35.266 Out: version
21:05:35.266 Out: \r\n
21:05:35.268  In: v
21:05:35.268  In: e
21:05:35.268  In: r
21:05:35.268  In: si
21:05:35.268  In: on
21:05:35.268  In: \r\n
21:05:35.268  In: 0.6.0\r\n
21:05:35.268  In: ch>\r\nch>
There was nothing else in Debug log on Connect.

VNAmate works perfectly fine with the NanoVNA-F V3, IF the firmware is 0.5.11. When I received mine, I immediately tried it with VNAmate and was pleased that it worked. Then I decided to make sure I was on the latest firmware. After updating the firmware to 6.0.x, VNAmate doesn't repond after connection. I'm assuming it's a simple version check in VNAmate.

based on the release notes for firmware v6.0.x, it should work just fine without any changes to VNAmate beyond fixing the version check. A couple of NEW functions were added, but no indication that any existing functionality was modified or removed.

I look forward to being able to use VNAmate with my NanoVNA-F V3. I'd be happy to help update the code, test, feedback, whatever would help.

Thanks,
Robert
