AsiaRF is 25mm x 35mm. What is important is that it is on a pin connector instead of being castellated. Being on a connector means I can put my own chips below it. With a castellated module I lose the whole 28 x 38mm of board space. > > BR, > Drasko -- Jon Smirl jonsm...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
