Using a chip antenna instead of onboard antenna on esp32-c3-mini-1/1u

Postby asachdeva » 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!

Probably, the reason you have no replies is the lack of information.

What module, exactly? How did you disable external Wifi? Are you *sure* you can do this in software and don't need to re-route the circuit in some way?

I dunno. I just noticed you have no replies and also zero clue.
