Enabling GPS external antenna on thingy91

[engineerN]

Hi,

I am using Thingy91 v1.6.0.

SDK : v2.2.0

I want to use an external antenna for GPS. The antenna I am using is: robu.in/.../

I connected the external antenna to the UFL connector labelled GPS on thingy91 board.

In the sample gnss, I modified below configuration:

"CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA=y

CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_GNSS_ONBOARD=n

CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_GNSS_EXTERNAL=y

CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_AT_COEX0="AT%XCOEX0"

"

Now, when I build the code and flash to thingy91, I am not able to see any improvement in GPS receiving.

So, are above configurations correct or am I missing something?

How should I confirm if the antenna was switched to external sucessfully ?

Regards,

Hi

Due to Easter vacation here in Norway we're working on going through the backlog from a period of being short staffed. Thank you for your patience!

I think it should be enough to enable the  CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_GNSS_EXTERNAL=y in your project configs to. Also make sure CONFIG_MODEM_ANTENNA_GNSS_ONBOARD is not enabled as well.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,
I tried with those configs, but it is not working!
