If I do connect an external antenna to a WiPy 2.0 do I need to do anything with GPIO16 (External Antenna Switch) to enable it?

Can I tell if an external antenna is connected by monitoring GPIO16?

Thanks

You need to specify it in the init:

antenna=WLAN.EXT_ANT
Without data you're just another person with an opinion.
