#40186 Hi!

I'm currently using the ESP-01, but am looking for another small model which exposes more GPIO pins. I am therefore interested in the ESP-07.

Do you have any experiences how well the ceramic antenna of the ESP-07 works compared with the ESP-01? Is the reception even better compared to the PCB antenna of the ESP-01?

I saw that the ESP-01 has a socket for an external antenna. How do I (i necessary) switch to the external antenna? Is there some kind of jumper, or do I just have to plugin the eternal antenna?

I needed to solder a wire to an external pin of the SoC and connect it to reset in order for the deep sleep to work. Do you know if this is still required with the ESP-07?

Thanks in advance!
