Very good post [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6e4ef2b1-229a-4378-bd69-42b67e9bc7a5/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Do you have any idea how much did this increase the range?

I'm struggling a bit with range in one of my use cases, and if this helps, I guess I'll need to hack the receiver as well [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-6e4ef2b1-229a-4378-bd69-42b67e9bc7a5/contentimage_5F00_403.png:16:16]

Great post.

I do agree about the antenna. The more gain the better your signals.

You also have to worry about parasitic capacitance and inductance.

I like how your reused the antenna connector. I need to go through my stuff to see if I have any that I can repurpose.

Hi Mark,

Great post! So much useful information, and really clear information on how to connect the external antenna.

Pretty impressive that the Enocean devices work with such a small solar panel (I've seen it in photos before

but it still surprises me).

I'd seen those deburring tools but not realized how effective they were. I shall definitely obtain one now.

The transparent case is really neat.
