Title: Moteino trace antenna Cap value?
Post by: hakunin on March 17, 2018, 01:11:41 PM

Hi,
could somebody please tell me the capacitor value of the red marked cap (ANT cap) in attached picture?
I removed it sometimes ago to install an u.FL connector and I forgot to write down the value.
Searching on Moteino Website I could not find this info.
Also the design files are missing for the Moteino Trace Antenna.Was that forgotten or on purpose?
Thanks
Sincerely

An other question: can I leave the u.FL connector with no external antenna attached and use the trace antenna (after resoldering the ANT cap)?
Thanks

You can use something like a few pF for that, any value is OK. You lost the cap? next time save it ;)
Design files for Trace Moteinos are not released at this time.
