Hi,
as written just around the corner https://groups.io/g/tinysa/topic/tinysa_remote_py_python/94944540 there's a new tool in my toolbox:

https://github.com/Ho-Ro/nanovna-tools/raw/main/nanovna_remote.py

Remote control for the NanoVNA or tinySA - mirror the screen to your PC and operate the device with the mouse. The keys + and - zoom in and out, s takes a screenshot with timestamp, ESC quits the program.

usage: nanovna_remote.py [-h] [-d DEVICE] [-t | -n] [-z {2,3,4}]

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DEVICE, --device DEVICE
connect to serial usb device
-n, --nanovna use with NanoVNA (default)
-t, --tinysa use with tinySA
-z {2,3,4}, --zoom {2,3,4}
zoom the screen image

Martin

Martin,

1) thanks for doing this, it's much appreciated.

2) the link below took one straight to the code, where lines 60-64 show:

# The size of the screen
width = 320
height = 240

which is OK for an original nanoVNA(-H) or a tinySA. *However*, the *H4* variant of the nanoVNA and the new tinySA *Ultra* use 4" 480×320 screens.

I've not had a sensible opportunity to check the script out with my own H4 or tinySA, but thought I'd mention it now, to get a view from yourself.

73, Stay Safe,

Robin, G8DQX

Robin,
Good hint, should work for the bigger ones now - untested because of the HW not (yet) available.
