Wifi antenna enhancement #11

Closed jf1452 closed 3 years ago

jf1452 commented 3 years ago

Not so much of an issue, but more of a recommendation for an enhancement.

The stock PCB wifi antenna on the ESP32 does not provide very good reception, I modified mine by changing the antenna link and hardwiring an old router antenna. (Move R15 to position R14)

I stripped the antenna from the plastic case to make it fit better into the case and glued it to the side.

If I had a spare SMA connector I would have soldered that to the board and used the plug / socket rather than my bodge of hard wiring.
