Vbat negative and config not restored

helgein commented 4 years ago

Firmware: 0.3.1-20191021

Config is not stored, battery icon is empty, vbat returns -1. Battery works fine and powers the device for multiple minutes without usb cable plugged in. After power cycling, all display related configuration of traces, format, channels are lost and a "weird default" shows all 4 traces.

Flashed the "Eraser":

C:\Dell>"C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\DfuSe v3.0.6\Bin\DfuSeCommand.exe" -c -d --fn FILLFF.dfu
...

Flashed the image:

C:\Dell>"C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics\Software\DfuSe v3.0.6\Bin\DfuSeCommand.exe" -c -d --fn ch.dfu
1 Device(s) found :
Device [1]: STM Device in DFU Mode, having [2] alternate targets
Target 00: Upgrading - Download Phase (100)...Duration: 00:00:10
Upgrade successful !

Power-cycled the device. Empty battery-icon shown.

in the terminal, executed

ch> clearconfig 1234
Config and all cal data cleared.
ch> saveconfig
Config saved.
ch> vbat
-1 mV

Calibrated it, stored to "0".
Configured to just show traces 0 and 2 as smith for ch0 and ch1.
saved the config from the touchscreen as well as from the terminal via "saveconfig" command.
vbat negative:
```
ch> vbat
-1 mV
```
tried terminal command "clearconfig" but it did not change a thing.

Did you install D2? It is needed to show the battery indicator.
Try to cycle power after clearconfig, do not do saveconfig.

it seems that it's better to make reset after clearconfig, because some peoples trying to do saveconfig just after clearconfig, which leads to write wrong config back. I already seen such reports

added guide text after doing clearconfig at https://github.com/ttrftech/NanoVNA/commit/e6035a5d96d0fea00d4cd7d5479a8ce865ebd38b

I have done a clearconfig and power cycle but vbat shows -1 and I have no battery icon at all. I am using c40d78d80fcba820a9260cfe16b83349537f9a34 (today).

I bought a nanovna off amazon from some no name seller, so I can't really say much about the board other than the battery indicator used to work.

Hi Zero,

You have to check if you have soldered diode to the power supply sampling point, see the web page below :
