Getting started with the RigExpert AA-30.ZERO

Before you start:

The RigExpert AA-30.ZERO is specifically designed for users looking for flexibility, an affordable solution and a compact size. This model comes without built-in USB or pin headers, which helps to keep the costs low. It is the ideal choice for those looking for a measuring core to integrate into a project.

Please note that the AA-30.ZERO operates on 5 Volts, similar to most Arduino and Arduino compatible boards. Make sure you use the correct power supply and that the components and adapters you connect have the same operating voltage as the AA-30.ZERO.

Connecting the AA-30.ZERO to your PC

Since the AA-30.ZERO does not have a built-in USB interface, you need to use an external USB to UART-TTL serial converter to connect to the analyzer. This will ensure reliable communication between the AA-30.ZERO and your PC.

The analyzer can communicate with other devices via two built-in UART interfaces: UART1 (pins 0/TX1 and 2/RX1) and UART2 (pins 4/TX2 and 7/RX2). By default, the AA-30.ZERO uses UART2 for communication.

By following these steps, you will be able to get your RigExpert AA-30.ZERO up and running quickly and easily, whether you are working on a DIY project or simply need a reliable analyzer for your antenna systems.

The RigExpert AA-30 ZERO offers unmatched performance for anyone looking to analyze and optimize their antenna systems. Whether you're an experienced radio amateur or a DIY enthusiast, this analyzer provides the precision and flexibility you need to take your projects to the next level.
