ESP32-PICO-D4 circuit question

[Kamool]

Hello,

I'd like to use ESP32-PICO-D4 in my motorcycle data-logger module.

First of all - do i need anything more that things in "peripheral schematics" in datasheet to run module?

Secondly - 5 meters of wifi range is more than enough for me, then do i need to make matching circuit (L5, C27, C28) for wifi antena? Or can I just connect antena directly to PICO's pin and ground? What is cheap and popular antena i can get?

Do i need capacitors between SENSOR VP and CP, CN and VN?

Regards

Hello,

1. To simply run the module, "peripheral schematics" is enough.
2. You can solder a 0R resistor in L5, leave C27 and C28 unsoldered and see if RF performance is acceptable.
3. You can use the PCB antenna same as the one in our reference design: https://www.espressif.com/sites/default ... n_V1.0.zip
4. No, you don't need to add caps between SVP and SCP, SVN and SCN, unless you want to use the LNA ADC.

Thanks.

Which is not supported. Or, is it?
