3.6.2.2. External microphone extension for Mini-RX

This modification of the Mini-RX beacon allows you to bring the receiving microphone
to any place on the robot or clothing. Due to this, the microphone body itself will not
interfere, and will not be visible. It allows you to create more accurate implantation.

It is also possible to use 2 external microphones to calculate the direction, or to
improve and increase the reception area.

Length is 25cm (default), may be expanded up to 1m (optional). Check out the

Be careful: You should have soldering skills to solder external microphone on board
