Dear All,

In my project i'll wish use the launchxl - CC2640R2 + BOOSTHLAOA antenna.

I have a problem with the PCB of launchxl - CC2640R2, how is possible to change the position of the small capacitor C51? It's need really change the position as advise? Please see the attached files and the link http://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=AHckEvhg0Y3xs5rlangU2w__FUz-xrs__LATEST  .

Thanks and best regards 

  • Hi,

    Yes, to be able to use the BOOSTXL-AoA as your antenna you need to configure your Launchpad to use external antenna. This is done by moving C51 as described using a soldering iron (or similar tools).
