Powering a transiver without external antenna?
-
Hi quick question. Is it dangerous to power a transiver like the one in the picture with external antenna when the antenna is removed?
I have solderd the transiver to the arduino and need to program the arduino but I dont have the antenne here.
I belive that in some cases you can fry the transiver. What do you think?

But dosent it start the sketch directly after I flash it?

Depends on how you flash it, I guess.
Your original question was: "Is it dangerous to power a transiver like the one in the picture with external antenna when the antenna is removed?" so I tried to answer that. -
Yes I understand. I'm not criticising your answer. But I guess that means that I cant program it at the moment. Because that would mean the transiver would start transmitting directly.
Hmmm... Unless I start with a 5-10 sec delay. =)
It is a temperatur sensor sketch. I could probably code a 10 sec delay in the void setup() section. It would be an ugly solution but probably would work. =) -
