  • Hi,
    I just soldered my HC-05 module to my espruino board, and I forgot to mask the circular aerial on the bottom of the bluetooth module, and I don't have a solder wick or pump at hand.
    but why is the tape necessary?
    The reference page tells me to use some tape to cover the circular aerial:

    Add a small piece of Magic Tape to the back of the module, over the circular aerial connection.

    Why is this necessary?
    does it have a big impact on the connection if I don't?
