Posted on August 18, 2023 by robertwilkie

Nice idea, but I don’t have the patience for this build. It would have been nice if some pads or something else was available on the RPI to do this. https://shop.sb-components.co.uk/blogs/posts/adding-an-additional-antenna-with-a-u-fl-rf-connection-to-a-raspberry-pi-zero-2-w
