External GPS or Cellular Antenna?

[causalloop]

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding - your code thats commented out for selecting internal vs external antenna, is this for the GPS or the cellular antennas? (Mostly I'm interested in how to make sure its using the external gps antenna I've got).

Ok, I think I answered part of my own question - that particular line is for the cellular antenna. But I how do you tell the shield to use an external antenna - or does it do it automatically?

Hmm. If I recall correctly, I actually used external antenna for both cell and GPS. Hope that helps!

So the external antenna code is for the GPS here, but it depends on the version of the shield you're using. The newer shield wants the binary antenna commands here:

The electron will always need an external antenna, and doesn't have an RF switch if I remember correctly. Thanks! :)
