Using a chip antenna instead of onboard antenna on esp32-c3-mini-1/1u
Posted: Thu Jul 13, 2023 8:47 pm
Hi, I would like to use a ceramic chip antenna for ble/wifi purposes instead of the onboard external antenna or Trace antenna. I did some research and found that I need to disable the on-board antenna / configure the settings via software (in my case Arduino IDE). What should I do to accomplish this both in terms of hardware (do I need to do anything to take out the on-board antenna) and software (how do I go about configuring the firmware in the settings such that the ceramic chip is the antenna receiving and transmitting signals)? Thanks for the help!
