Where is the antenna on QT Py ESP32-C3?

Post by pauljurczak »

The question says it all. I don't see a connector or PCB antenna. Where is it? Do I have to solder an external one?

None of the documents says anything about antenna. Does QT Py ESP32-C3 have an internal antenna ONLY? No provision for an external one? I urge Adafruit to make it clear.

The antenna is the white box with the red stripe near the TX Pad

Yep. That's the antenna. There's also schematic and downloadable CAD files here:
