That is gold!
Didn't quite grok the second half (I'm not a hardware guy), but thanks for sharing nonetheless :D
- Gibbon1 4y agoThe first one was actually a surprise since often you don't see that. Most random stuff are really really bad crap antenna's. The second one is pretty simple. The voltage regulator has a internal circuit to detect over current and turn off the regulator. So if current is too high or the part gets too hot it turns it off preventing the regulator from letting the smoke out. In this case somehow the RF was tripping that circuit for about 50ms.
