Hey guys, I recently got my first gumstix. It has bluetooth module, but unfortunately no antenna. I'm not so familiar with bluetooth hardware, can someone tell me if the antenna is specific for gumstix or is it a general bluetooth antenna which I could also buy from computer shops in London? I already ordered the antenna from gumstix online store, but it takes a while to arrive London and I need it ASAP and even sooner. Regards, Marko Rask |

hello, (all the part numbers specified in this mail are from netgate.com) we use connex 400xm-bt that uses 2 dBi Clip On Antenna MMCX ([ANT-2-CLIP-ON]) for bluetooth. as you might know, this means a female mmcx connector is on the board and a male mmcx connector on the antenna. this clip-on antenna doesn't fit well with our prototype enclosure and would like to use an antenna with a pigtail so that we can place the antenna outside the enclosure. so i am looking for a pigtail that has mmcx male on one side and mmcx female on the other. do you know any cable that could be used like this? if not, i am wondering whether i could use a antenna such as [ANT-2OMNI-RPSMA] with a pigtail such as [PIG-MMCX-RPSMA-8] that has a RPSMA female (to connect to the antenna) and a MMCX male (to connect to the board). pls. let me know. any suggestion would be highly appreciated. thanks in advance, dave --------------------------------- Choose the right car based on your needs.

Marko, I use a standard 802.11 antenna; since bluetooth also uses the 2.4ghz range, it works perfectly. I tore mine out of an old wireless router. -Peter On 3/14/06, Marko Rask <mar...@gm...> wrote: > Hey guys, > > I recently got my first gumstix.

You should have received an antenna with the gumstix if you bought a bluetooth gumstix. Did you carefully check the packaging? The antenna is fairly small (about 4" long by maybe 1/4" diameter), wrapped in a little plastic baggy which can get stuck in the envelope. C |

Craig, What is the type of connector that is fixed to the board for the bluetooth antenna? I would like to replace it with a remote antenna if possible.

The connector is an MMCX connector. The board is not FCC licensed (or your local governing authority, depending on where in the world you're located) with any other antenna though -- so you would have to get the required licensing approval yourself if you replace the antenna.
