Bluetooth antenna mod

Bluetooth antenna mod

Description

Bluetooth USB dongles happily claim 60m or 100m of range but then fail after 4m or a single drywall. This thing connects a propper antenna to a USB Bluetooth module, thereby giving it substantial more range. The base features a magnet, so that the antenna can be stuck to any magnetic surface. A slide switch is used to turn the module off or on. Project homepage: https://hattedsquirrel.net/projects/pimp-my-bluetooth/ Disclaimer: When messing with USB there is always a slim chance to destroy the USB port or even more if something went wrong. I can't be held responsible for any mishaps. Only try this if you are aware of the risks and are willing to accept them. Make sure you don't exceed your local regulations for RF radiation.
