Crazyflie 2.1 External antenna compatibility
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2019 2:34 pm
Hi all,
I am interested in using an external antenna with the CF2.1 by using the onboard uFL connector (I need to use the RSSI signal quality estimator for a research project, and the value changes too much when the drone's angle varies, because of the location of the included antenna that can easily be shadowed by the motors). However, I can't find much information about how it works and if there are any antennas recommended with the system.
Does someone have some experience or information about ? More specifically:
- Is it a true antenna system or does the included PCB antenna get disabled when an external one gets connected?
- Are there any models that have been tested?
- I don't know much about what's compatible with the CF2 system, what should I look for when buying an antenna?
Thank you all!
