Very DIY but external antenna (aerial) for HC-05 and HC-06.


just thought may useful some.

i had 0.02" piano wire old project , remember boosting aerial using choke etc.

i (well....have now) built internal/external condition monitoring system small greenhouse 20-25m house (~50-60ft). double "10m aprox." people seem get.

i used hc-05 modules bluetooth communication between greenhouse arduino set , raspberry pi in house...

the problem:
                     range.

the solution:
                   4.92" piano wire vertical aerial soldered on modules. connection has been stable hour no dropped packets.

pictures.
1. super amateur soldering.



2. greenhouse behind cherry blossom. "looks" 25m , google earth says 24m.


3. output looking @ phone. python script on rpi writes data in .csv file later editing. planning on maybe getting php script read .csv , plot graphs?


very interesting. use bluetooth lot best have seen 15m clear line of sight, , doesn't take stop - closed window, perhaps.
