Title: ESP32 board w. external Antenna (EA)
Post by: FrankCGN on January 24, 2024, 01:39:47 PM
Hi,
if i order the "esp gateway-EA" , the "ESP32-POE-EA" or the "ESP32-DevKit-Lipo-EA".
Do i have to solder a bridge like at the ESP-CAM with EA?
or is it External Antenna only.

There is no need to cut or solder anything. The external antenna is active and the PCB antenna is disabled.

The whole ESP32 module is different for the EA versions. It has u.FL pad to connect antenna.
