Extending EPS-12S
-
Hello all,
I just bought my 2nd Duet WiFi board. The printer it is going into is a knockoff MakerBot replicator. The whole frame is steel, and the cavity the board will be in is steel. I would rather not cut any of the panels to bring the WiFi module outside of the steel cage.
So I would like to extend the EPS-12S module to a better location.
Is there any advice someone could offer, before I make the changes?
Thanks in advance

Get a wifi module with an external antenna.

That is a great idea. I will check into that

Just as an FYI, I think Duet sells the module (they sell duets as both internal as well as external antennas)

I could not find just the module on the Duet3D website, but I was able to get the part number off of the pictures. Digikey offers the module.

I'll just de-solder the module, and install the external module. I like this idea so much better then trying to extend the module.
Thank you
