Welcome to the QtTinySA wiki, updated for v1.0.2

Installation Notes:

NB: v1.0.2 Requires firmware 1.4.120 or newer. For best scanning speed, firmware 1.4.177 or later is needed.

To use the Python programme, the following files are needed and must all be in the same directory folder:

QtTinySA.py
QtTinySpectrum.py
QtTinySApreferences.py
QtTSAprefs.db (but see below)
tinySA.ico
tinySAsmall.png
tinySA.icns (on macOS)

The default configuration database 'QtTSAprefs.db' is copied to a user configuration directory when the programme is first run. If an earlier version is present it may need to be deleted manually if a new release requires it (this will be noted in the release comments). The directory is determined by the Operating System but can be identified from the terminal logging messages, or from 'about' in QtTinySA. It should be something like this:

/home/username/.config/QtTinySA
or in Windows 11: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\QtTinySA
or in macOS: /Users/username/Library/Application Support/QtTinySA

To use the executables, the entire folder, e.g. QtTinySA, and its '_internal' sub-folder (if present) and the database are needed.

For version v1.0.2 I have been able to compile a PiOS12 executable with "nuitka". This is in the releases folder as QtTinySA_arm64.tar.gz

The python code runs fine on my Pi4 and it runs on a Pi3b if the 'display update interval' is set to 100mS in the 'preferences' screen.
