I'm doing a flash of Nous A1 wifi plugins (not zigbee, not tasmota). The subject would be trouble free if it weren't for:
- the location of TX, RX, GND on the bottom side of the board, which forces its removal
- the way the wifi antenna is mounted, which rubs very easily when removed.
In the attached photo, the cable is connected to a patch like this. What is this and where to get it? Or will the wifi work without the tracks on the patch (antenna cable alone).
.
This is glued firmly to the chassis and removal for flashing is virtually impossible without trying to peel it off (with varying results).
