Enabling second antenna, unstable Vocore 2
Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2018 6:21 pm
Hello,
I wanted to check out the 300mB/s mode and enabled the second antenna according to the instructions.
It seems like the Vocore becomes unstable, I'm basically experiencing the same stuff like described in this post: http://forum.vocore.io/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3529 - I guess it will just reboot around the point where the wifi driver is started.
This was deemed a power issue, but I've tried a variety of power sources (up to 2.5A) and cables without any luck.
I don't know what's a good antenna to use, I tried with this one: https://www.adafruit.com/product/2308
I noticed that if I disconnect the antenna, it's not as unstable and may complete the boot sequence and start the wifi (and I was able to confirm it's in 300mB/s mode), but it will still randomly cut off and reboot.
Best regards
