Comment on Some advice on creating a 2.4 GHz antenna for Seeed ESP32-C3

Is this not the same ESP32 with an antenna? Although I don’t know how the nRF52840 from your question comes into play here. Don’t you normally use an ESP or an NRF, and not both at the same place (with the exception of a gateway maybe)?

The nRF was a useless inclusion tbh, sorry for the confusion. The nRF already has an smd antenna.
The thing with those antennas is the size of the antenna vs the size of the module, it’s almost twice the size, negating any benefit of having such a small module.
Hence my desire to use an SMD antenna on a small board instead.

So you have these boards already? Or could you just get other boards with an ESP32 and LiPo charger? Because many already have a printed or ceramic antenna built-in.

I do not. I’m planning on it though.
Do you know of others with charge controllers with that from factor? The only one close to it I’ve found is the is the m5stack m5stamp, but it doesn’t have a charge controller.
I don’t mind creating the daughter board, I think it could be fun.

Maybe the LOLIN C3 Pico?
