#1591 Updated the design to a 25-ish mil trackwidth :)

Gonna use a ceramic antenna so for that it is not critical :) also having an ufl connector so it matter a bit more for that.

#1592 Sjaak,

I don't know which information do you have at hand (HDK..).

But one thing on the VCC lines to the PA (Pin 3+4 at the Chip),
Espressif defined some contrains on this :

PCB Track from PA VCC Pin 3+4 to the 10uF VCC PA Ceramic Decoupling Cap : as close as possible to 6mm length , min 15mil
No ferrite beads and try to avoid vias

I guess they use the 6mm,15mil track as L here , together with the 10uF Cap they form a LC Filter.

I don't comment on the effect of a 10uF X7R or Z5U @ 2.4GHz ;) But well that is what Espressif recommends
