Help! FT Stem 2Ch EZ Receiver Lost its Antenna… Pinout Available?

[SumnerCorePlus]

Hi there, I work with a program that purchased the FT Stem EZ Flyer kits for our HS.

One of our 2Ch Stem V2 receivers lost its antenna and we are trying to give it a new one, but I am not sure which pad to attach a new antenna to. If there’s a technical drawing or pinout for this receiver or if someone is able to guide me to which pad I should be connecting to, that would be awesome.

Thanks,

Nick

Hey there, thanks. What part is the red line indicating? I couldn’t miss the big red circle though 😂

I’m doing some research as I go and I hear soldering antennas on isn’t best practice

That's called an "accident". Oops! LOL!

I would agree if this were a receiver for a larger more important plane.
What is your soldering experience?

First time soldering. I soldered a new wire on in the picture I posted, but the new cable doesn’t seem adequate, so I’m gonna spring for some actual 2.4GHz antennas and try again.

I heated the pad, tinned the cable, then joined them together, hopefully real antenna should solve the issue.

Along these same lines, is there a layout for this board? I'm curious about the plugs not used for the EZ kits.

There are two motor sockets, and the other two sockets are for LEDs.

Thank you. The official response I got was that they don't have any kind of layout, so I'm glad someone knew. Lol
