? Connecting ESP8266 via Coax Cabel instead WIFI-Antenna?
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 2:19 amHi,
is it possible to connect (multiple) ESP8266 via a coax Cable instead of using the WIFI antenna?
Background: I would like to use the ESP in a smart home but I do not want to use wireless for the communication and would like to use a cable base network instead.
How do one solder the cable to the esp board (keywords: impedance, balun ??) and
what topographic of the cable will be possible (star, tree, ring)?
Reducing the TX-Power might also save energy?
Thanks!
Cheers Jim
