Electronic components in Tello

[leandjb]

What's that electronic component in tello?

I'm disassembly my drone. That looks like antenna port but i don't know... Then, Where is really the antennas?

Don't know what that is, but the antennas are the 2 black wires in the back.

The annennas are two PCB boards located one in each back foot.

xcross is correct, the antennas are located in the rear motor pods.

The connector on the board is connected to a RF switch/solid state relay for antenna diversity. The same chip the 2 antennas (black coax leads coming from the rear motor pods) are connected to. I assume that connector is for testing receiver sensitivity or antenna performance. The connector type is a U.FL See below:

Excellent. In these days I try test that connector U.FL

Looks to me that it is connected to the rear antenna, follow the PCB tracks on the top level they lead to the black wires, which I believe are part of the antenna. Agree with bmelody on that one.

Tello PCB and antenna reference, to help fellow crazy modders ;)

Great post! I never saw the connector!! **** now I need to check it out

With your permission leandjb I will add this info to my antenna and pcb post that Flydrone kindly posted above.

Cheers,

Is that connector an extra port for more antenna?
