hello everybody thank you all for watching a new episode of eachine e58 how to increase the wifi fpv range
that really needs to be upgraded after we did the 2w signal booster to the transmitter and sma extension mod
now we like to have the wifi fpv of the eachine e58 go the same distance as with the new modifications we made to the transmitter
and we thought it's going to be an easy modification to the eachine e58 to get the wifi fpv range
to improve by a lot by just doing the same modification like we did to the transmitter adding the sma extension lead
to the wifi fpv module that luckly come's with a apex connector so you dodn't even have to solder it's just plug and play
then having the dipole antenna sticking out on the top of the drone and you can already see we try it twice
but it didn't work out because we were not able to trim the drone it kept drifting away a
theoretical it shut work the dipole antenna and SMA connector together weighs 30 grams and we already did a lift test showing it can carry 30grams
at it's maximum for the e58 to carry and still be able to fly really good so the only solution we have to extend the wifi fpv range of the eachine e58
is using a lightweight antenna and the first 3 antenna are omni-direction and 3dbi these 2 are 4dbi but patch antenna's
that doesn't really go to work and this one is 5dbi but that also a patch antenna and the problem with a patch antenna is having 100 meter of range
one way but if you turn the quad 45 degrees you can lose all that range so these 3 antenna are removed from the range test
because there are not really useful on a drone that fly's in all directions that leaves us with 3 antenna 3dbi that we can use and we like the one with the long wire
but they send me a dut there is a slight issue that the positive wire that shut come out the top is broken of
this antnna got a positive wire sticking out but there is heat-shrink over it but we are going to try to connect this antenna to the wifi fpv module
that already come's with an apex connector so you don't have to solder make it simple plug and play modification
the first step is disassembly the drone and if you don't know how to disassemble the e58 drone than check the video linked in the top of your screen
that shows you step by step how to disassemble and when yopu have your eachine e58 fully disassemble
then you can find the antenna wifi module antenna sitting over hire that you somehow have to remove
and then un-plug it and the stock antenna looks very similar to the 3dbi antenna we bought a banggood
I think it's 3dbi but it didn't say in the description so I'm not 100% sure that why we use this 3dbi antenna with extra heat-shrink protection we found on banggood
the second trick is drilling an opening close to the apex connector as possible so we can have the wire sticking outside the body as far as possible
now we run the antenna wire thru the hole and connect that to the apex connector
holy cow that was a hard job but we made it sit nice and tight now you hear that click and you know it's good
now we have the wifi fpv antenna running free under the drone giving us a lot better connection
and test, if we have more range, is coming up in the next episode there is one little thing you have to be careful for
the apex connector wire needs to hug the wall/body so the battery can shift into the drone and don't get snagged by the wire
than you can start rebuilding your eachine e58 drone and test if everything still works
and you can see the wifi FPV works and fly a drone with phone so that all perfectly fine
now it's time to go outside and do the range test for the wifif fpv and how far we can fly a drone with your phone
and hopefully, we get a better signal with the wifi analyser so wer can find the drone a lot easyer at a greater distance
and have more range than the 30 meters we have now but that is coming up in the next episode
so we really hope you subscribe for that and click that notification bell so you will be notified as soon as we realise the video
and it while help me a lot of you give this video a like thumbs up and i want to say thank you all for watching and hope to see you next time goodbye and keep on flying
