I recently bought a Lilygo T-Deck Plus and had assumed it would include an antenna, since i ordered it with an external antenna. Today it arrived and apparently doesn’t come with any external antenna, just a hole in the top with a rubber bung where one would go.
I had heard the antenna it comes with isn’t very good, so i bought a Stubby from ZBM2 Industries. What i need to know is what connector piece i need to go between the antenna and the circuit board. The little brass-colored thing that the antenna screws onto. What’s that part called and is there anything i should watch out for when finding one?
I’m not sure whether it has no internal antenna or whether there’s just no other nodes around. Inside it looks like the one in this tutorial, except that i have a T-Deck and not a T-Board. The antenna cable already there doesn’t look like it connects to anything, unless the cable itself is the antenna.
There’s already a hole where an antenna connector should go, i just don’t have a connector since one didn’t come with the antenna i bought.
I could contact LilyGo but i don’t want to wait for shipping a second time if i can just fix what i already have instead.
