We've been working on making for QT Py's for various chipsets and we were getting some connection issues on our S3 QT Py. Thanks to unexpected maker, we got a Hot Tip on how they had the same issue but fixed it with some pi network tuning! Tuning for an antenna can take swapping out a range of capacitors to get the best performance. The best way to do that is to get a RF capacitor kit, so you can try lots of different values quickly! Let's find a kit for 0402 sized capacitors that range from about 1 to 10pF and are C0G/NPO precision.
