External Antenna
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2020 12:52 pm
Hi,
Noob here. I have a strange issue that my crazyflie 2.1 with a bigquad deck seems to lose connectivity very easily. I am not sure why this is happening, but I wanted to test an external antenna and see if that would solve the issue.
I found this https://wiki.bitcraze.io/projects:crazy ... nalantenna
However, I have no idea how to go about changing these things. I can download this repo, add things to pm.c, but how do I go about uploading it to the drone? Physically, what do I have to do? Can I just use the radio to change the radio firmware? I believe no. So do I need an USB cable, just plug it to the drone and that's it? Or do I need to buy hardware (somewhere in the readme files it mentions a STLink-V2) and figure out where to connect pins myself?
Or do I need to de-solder things?
TY,
fred.
