Connect multiple antennas to M7E

What is needed if I wanted to have two (or even four) antennas connected to one M7E board?

You’ll need a multiplexer and you will need to write the software to instruct the module to change antennas. Check section 8.8 in the users guide for details.

Thanks!

The four GPIO’s mentioned in the user guide is the four laved GPIO1-4 on the Hecto I assume?

Have i gotten it right if I say that there can only ever be one antenna active at any given point, so what we essencially would do it to switch between then fast enough for them to registrer the same tag multiple times before it leaves the read zone?

Yes, correct on both.
